I'm testing four 12TB 7200rpm HDDs with my Icy Box 5-bay USB 3.1 Gen2 enclosure on my UM790 Pro, and everything was good with the first test. It was going very fast, but once it got to 'Reading and comparing,' it started going very slow.

It looks like two of the drives are making progress faster than the other two. What's the issue here? Is it the HDDs, or is it the USB enclosure? The enclosure is a USB 3.1 Gen2, so it shouldn't be bottlenecking, right?

I don't want to stop the test or reset it since it has been running for 63 hours already, and I don't want to lose that progress. The command I ran is 'badblocks -b 4096 -c 65535 -wsv'
