Mechanical drive almost exceeding my SSD what?

I just did a CrystalDiskMark test as I have done in the past. It was between my SSD which my OS is on and my 1tb storage hard drive at 7200rpm. I took multiple tests and they were all similar. Here were the results:

HDD:

Other than there being obvious things for the HDD to be slow such as in the 4k tests, is it just me or is the read and write on that just crazy? Could it have something to do with the fact that it's partitioned because I have an Ubuntu partition on it.

There is no way your hard drive is getting 500MB/s reads or 200MB/s writes.

Try benchmarking using different programs to verify that these results are correct.

I think CrystalDiskMark is just on drugs. I downloaded HD Tune and the HDD is getting around 180mb/s read, seems more legit. I can't test the writes because the trial doesn't support it.

It's probably because you used 50MB files for the test, and your HDD has 64MB of cache. Try using 1GB with 3 tests.

that's it. You need to check for larger files. Your HDDs got a small cache storage integrated that buffers small writes.

They must both be running off the SSD (assuming that the SSD was connected anyway), might be a glitch
