When I try to execute a Black Magic Disk Speed Test, the message:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission.
I can't change permissions, when I try, the same message is shown [as below]
Any ideas to deal with this?

Was the drive used as a startup drive or Time Machine. You can't edit the permissions on those drives. It appears to be a standard drive, though.
