Just got a seagate 8tb hdd that's in a usb 3 enclosure, plugged into USB 3 port. Ubuntu recognizes the device as a USB 3 device.

When I started the format, it was 1 day 10 hours (high 60 mb/s). About a hour later, 4 days (20mb/s). 20 mins later, 4 months. 1 hour later, back down to 3 to 4 days.

Tried it on another pc...same thing.

Am I dealing with a bad drive or something in ubuntu (22.04) that needs to be tweaked?
