STFW 'odroid hc4':

The drive firmware and computer kernel negotiate the speed via device
drivers and interface chips.
Everything has tolerances. Sometimes, two devices can be within
tolerances individually when connected to a test stand, but go out of
tolerance(s) when connected to each other. I've seen this with memory
modules and motherboards.
As another reader suggested, look for error messages in dmesg(1) and/or
/var/log. Post anything interesting.
Does the drive connect at 3 Gbps in both bays?
Do you have another identical drive and/or NAS that you can use for A/B
testing?
Can you return the drive or the NAS?
