I f**********cked up and need help. I have 7 WD external drives ranging from 8-22tb that I shucked to store more efficiently and a couple docks to utilize them when needed. I'm trying to consolidate and organize my data and these drives are not only running at literally 1/200th of the speed they used to but they make my computer virtually useless when in operation. I attempted to move 4tb earlier today. The read/write on these usually hovers around 200mbps when in their enclosures and now they're between 70-105mbps. What's worse is the transfer got down to 1.85g and slowed to .5-1mbps. I still have the enclosures that I can try and put them all back into. Is it worth doing that or are there better docks or hubs I can get? Right now I'm using both Insignia and Sabrent docks and a cenmate 3 port hub for a Plex server (which seems to be working okay).

Any help would be appreciated. I can't work like this!
