with the md5 command on linux.
Is my hashcat syntax correct?
The syntax looks correct. I suspect you made a mistake when creating the hash. Can you post the whole command?
Guys,
Thanks for the quick responses. I was having a typo. The below syntax worked.
hashcat64 -a 3 -m 20 -O --hex-salt hash.txt ?a?a?a
-m 20 with mask was 5x faster than -m 0 with mask.
That being said, are there any other method to further optimize or improve performance here?
you can squeeze out a little more performance (while rendering your PC hardly usable) by using -w3 or even -w4
Other than that the most time you can save by running clever attacks.

What
clever attacks are you referring to?
targeted wordlists, targeted rules, more narrow masks, …
