Why is my WD Black Edition Drive so slow? Is it dying?

Hello everyone,

i was curious today and checked some stats of my WD black edition, which since i built this machine in 2012 is my main HD.

The numbers seem slow and power on time seems like a lot. Is it dying? I have no backup right now. Budget is tight as f*ck ...

Any insight on those numbers would be nice!

Looks normal to me.

Maybe all those SSD numbers are deceiving me :o
