It's a cheap dock so probably not easy to find any technical
documentation. One thing I might try is to swap the two drives around
just to see if it's always the same one that causes the delay.
On the subject of power as raised by George, I had trouble with too many
USB bus powered drives on the home server. A powered USB 3.1 hub helps
me out there. Doubtless it has its own limits.
