I have a Sabrent DS-SC4B Docking Station connected to my Mac Studio via USB-C.

In it there are 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs, which I previously used in my old 2010 Mac Pro.

I expected the drives to perform better in the new enclosure since they are now connected via SATA 3, while before it was SATA 2 in the Mac Pro. Also, the USB 3.2 connection should be fast enough.

But unfortunately, the speeds I get are slower than before.

This is from the Mac Pro:

And this is the best test I could get now (it's often even lower):

The enclosure is connected via a USB-C to USB-C cable to my Studio Display since I heard that that actually improves speeds compared to connecting it directly to the Mac.

Any ideas regarding what could be going on?
