I'm a noob with this stuff so please be gentle, lol.
Anyway, ran the benchmark test and this curve doesn't look right but I'm not sure what it's telling me. It's a 3TB drive that is about 90% full of vid files. What prompted me to investigate is that copying files to it takes FOREVER...like less than 1 Mb/s. This PC has a number of other drives that work just fine including an identical one. This HDD does not have the OS on it, it is simply data storage. This drive used to work fine but I'm wondering if its failing or if there is something I can do to get it back. It's been defragged and HDTune error scan shows all green on the entire drive. The drives are all SATA 3, 7200 RPM, the board is SATA 3, same with the cables, I'm set to AHCI in BIOS, etc....and all my other drives are fine with transfer speeds being pretty high. No matter where I get the file from on that drive, it's still slow as hell. Actually...when I copy a file to it, it starts out fairly fast and then it just hits a wall about 25% into the transfer and crawls...it says 45 minutes to copy 1GB to it...crazy. I understand the speeds go slower as it nears the full mark, but THAT slow? This graph doesn't look like like a "typical" benchmark graph so I'm a lil concerned. Thanks in advance for any advice.
