The technical specifications of the drives should mention startup
power management. There may also be some power management in the dock. I've noticed that it is becoming more difficult to find detailed documentation of add-on hardware. At one time you could open the box, identify key IC's and get the spec. sheets, but now you may find a general-purpose CPU.
It's a cheap dock so probably not easy to find any technical documentation. One thing I might try is to swap the two drives around just to see if it's always the same one that causes the delay.
