Hi @matrixmodulator!

 

The best way to determine if the issue is related to the USB hub or the drives is to plug them directly to the PC and see if it will take the same amount of time to be recognized. Also, you can try to plug one drive at a time in order to check if the speeds will change, and to plug it in an USB 3 port (you can use a PC of a friend) just to test the hub.

 

Hope this helps a bit and let me know how it went.

If this post helped you, please like and choose it as a best answer.   :)

I believe the term you're using for is 'Hard Drive Dock' not 'Hub'.

Even so, I would still suggest to try connecting the drives internally (since they should have the necessary interface for that) and see if they will perform faster. That way we could tell for sure if the issue is related to the HDDs somehow or to the docking station/USB port it's plugged into.

 

Have you tried to do so and if you did - what happened? :)
