This is where an understanding of how an encrypting drive works needs to be 
taken into account.

An SED always encrypts all data written to it it uses a long encryption key 
that is built into the drive.

When you “turn on encryption” what you are doing is setting a pin to allow 
access to the encryption key to read your data back.

I would be looking at some of the heparin parameters to see if there are any 
differences in these parameters. Things like drive caching being on for one 
drive and off for another.

Having tested many different drives over the years I have never seen a 
performance difference between SED and non SED when all parameters on the drive 
are the same.
