Posted January 19 · Original PosterOP i have a wd blue 2tb drive, i bought it around this time last year and recently when i was trying to load up a game it was awfully slow and took way longer than normal, i ran the crystal disk mark bench mark to see the speed and these speeds seem really slow even for a hard drive. does anyone know whats going on?

Seems very likely the drive is dying though if it's significantly slower. Good news is you can get a replacement through WD as it still under warranty (2 years for Blues). - Personal Rig - i7-4790K / 32GB Corsair DDR3-1600 Dominator Platinum / EVGA RTX 2070 XC UltraGigabyte G1.
