Did you use the Windows built-in defrag tool? If you did, download defraggler and use it and test agian. the buit-in one isn't that great.

Also, I depends what hard disk it is, I could go look it up for you, but you have to give me a Device Manager screenshot. But if the drive is a 5400RPM one, the speeds are pretty normal as the speed dramatically decreases along the capacity disc (bottom line with the number of GB in yellow)

Don't defrag a SSD, that does nothing to help the SSD and just wears on the NAND, shortening it's life span. Just use Trim, which finds areas on a SSD it could clear and does it to improve performance.

I don't know any trim utilities however, so just find one. (I apologize if my trim definition is wrong, which it probably is knowing myself)
