I think I would work with the Drives manufacture on this issue, use there tool to evaluate the condition of the drives.
As per your picture The Disk Mark shows an issue at approximately 38% notice your Read speed dropped to almost Zero in that section of that disk. Does it repeat on concurrent runs of the test?
Ok, so I wasn't sure if I should've used the possible faulty Sabrent or the single docking station. I didn't really want to put it back in the Sabrent so the error scan is from the single dock, but it wouldn't list anything under health so I thought maybe that dock was too old. So I put in the Sabrent and the health still wouldn't show. The benchmark is through the Sabrent since I already had it in there.
I'll do either the Sea or Crystal overnite tonight.

I do see the drop, but I really have no idea what the benchmark says, or is not supposed to say. I'm at work so I can't run another benchmark until I get home.

Here is another benchmark from HD Tune with no dropout this time.
And Sea Tools. Not really sure about this one, my log does not look like the log on the Seagate page.
When the benchmark is running you cannot block windows from doing things unrelated to the test.
These other things can create troughs in the chart.
If you are concerned about a trough then repeat the testing while in safe mode to reduce windows activity.

2. How can I verify the performance of my hard disk?
Run the benchmark functions and compare the results with the results from the database.
The graph should show that the hard disk starts at its maximum speed and slows down towards the end of the test.
A few downward spikes in the graph are not a problem. It means that another application or Windows was accessing the hard disk during the test.
These are additional tests:
Run HD Sentinel: (free or trial edition)
Hard Disk Sentinel - HDD health and temperature monitoring
Hard Disk Sentinel - HDD health and temperature monitoring

Is my screenshot of Sea Tools OK? Like I said, it didn't show all the info that was displayed on their homepage.
This shows you actual hard drives are not having issues that the tool can find. Are these disk internal or external that your having issues with. If External I would look at the case and connections a bad cable can cause similar issues as well as a failing chipset in the external case.
On the left pane please click each drive to display results for each tab.

The purple was brand new and I'm 99.9% positive that I had formatted it even though I was given the error that it wasn't.
Sorry, I don't know what the robot check thing is, hopefully you can use the links.

Do you mean you want to see the info on my C drive from Sentinel?
Sorry, I don't know why I can never seem to get these replys in it's own reply box.
When there are multiple drives displayed in the left pane you can click on each drive to see the results for each tab > post images into the thread
