I have been running CrystalDiskMark against my collection of HDDs with surprising results - well to me anyway.
Five of them report 40MB/s read and write and one 120MB/s. Yet all tested in the same IcyBox USB3 exterior hard drive caddy plugged into a blue USB3 port on my PC running Windows 10. Two identical year 2016 2TB Toshibas report 40 and 120MB/s.
None of the disks are full, and they are all defragmented.
Can anyone think of a reason why the disks might differ?
