USB 3.0 is a bit tricky for this enclosure/notebook combo. I enlarged the total storage to four 3TB drives, two of which are NAS type.
Apparently the enclosure had not been connecting at USB 3.0 speeds which slowed down transfers internally between drives as I rearranged the drives, replaced some 2 TB drives, and tried out backup software. To get USB 3.0 speeds, I had to unplug my USB 2.0 mouse and start the enclosure up already plugged into the notebook computer. By doing so I quadrupled transfer speeds to the backup hard drive enclosure and internally. It also seems to have accelerated the scanning process by 17%.
