"Performance" Of Drive Constantly Dropping

[TheSentinal]

I have a 1.5TB Samsung drive which i recently plugged in after not using it for a while

I did get a warning message about a huge power load issue when trying to turn on many drives connected to my computer at once and the PSU could not handle it but that was years ago

The health seems to stay constant

But the "performance" percentage drops 1% every single day; what does this mean?

I have the drive connected to a docking station; could that be the issue?

Please see the text description: it shows the constantly increasing communication problems which can cause degraded performance.

Yes, it can also cause the troubles. Generally anything "between" the computer and the disk drive can cause such communication problems:
- cables
- connections
- possible cable extenders, hubs
- docking stations

If possible, I'd recommend to try connecting differently - by different docking station/adapter or directly to a SATA port.
