I got an Argon Eon case with a Raspberry Pi 4, but I'm regretting it because for some off reason my file transfer speeds via SMB are abysmal. I do have a heap of services selfhosted on the Pi and otherwise it's okay
Edit: If someone was able to get fast transfer speeds via SMB on a Raspberry Pi, I'd like to know how. If the speeds can be increased, my NAS would be perfect
What software are you using
I'm using all these, plus OpenMediaVault as the NAS operating system 
Try this in your SMB settings in OMV.
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536
SO_SNDBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
min receivefile size = 16384
write cache size = 524288
getwd cache = yes
max connections = 65535
max open files = 65535
min protocol = smb3
max protocol = smb3It's possibly a hardware limitation. This is my settings

What's your HDD model?
I've got two of these https://www.amazon.com.au/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST8000DM004/dp/B075WYBQXJ
See if seachest is compatible with your drives. I think it's only compatible with Exos.
Also are you running through USB?
Yes all devices are through USB 3
USB inherently has latency issues and protocol overhead. Seems like you're restricted to hardware unfortunately.
