Read speed

[Wano97]

Something seems to be really off with my WD 1TB blue. It takes AGES to load a few pictures on the drive. I don't know if this picture tells you anything, just adding it anyways. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Or is my HDD dying?

This is just me, but mine does the same thing.

[Vavetti]

It may need a defrag.

Yeah but it's really annoying. I've deleted my WoW cache, and it took atleast 4 minutes to load a few objects in the game.

Worth a shot.

I know the feeling.

use crystal disk info to see if your drive is in good health

also try to defrag it and check the drive for errors

Somehow, my HDD is gone from the defrag menu.

Defrag with Defraggler

???

what defrag menu? what are you talking about?

 

you go into "my computer" right click the HDD, click properties, and click defrag

I usually use dfrgui.exe for that. I got myself defraggler though, also allows me to see the health of the HDD

Hmm those speeds look pretty normal for a mechanical drive... must be something wrong with your indexing or something else software related.

I'll see what it gives after defragging. Thanks for the help
