Well, if concatenating two files (which is, as you say, just a file
copy) in your system fails or is slow, ffmpeg will also be slow.
I would say that your SSD can not cope with the operation, but you say
that a plain copy of the same two files to another directory in the same
disk worked fast - wait, did you try that?
Do you have another disk, rotating rust type? Try there.
