I have 4 USB 3, 6 TB disks attached most of the time.  On a "wake from 
sleep" they're available in seconds.  On a re-boot or re-connect it can 
take 10 - 20 seconds for all 4 to show in Finder[1]. They are all 
encrypted drives.  The "password" is stored in Keychain so there is no 
entering of the password on each connect required.

(Catalina 10.15 ish.)

[1] IIRC even if the volume doesn't show in Finder quickly, I believe 
they show in Disk Utility quicker than that - but I won't stand on it.
