Hey guys !

 

I own a Seagate Barracuda 500GB / 7200RPM / SATA 6GB/s / 16MB Cache (ST500DMOO2) hard drive , wich is 4 months old , installed in a silent type case , with a fan right next to it . It can only read/write 50MB/s for some odd reason . Please keep in mind that I know a thing or two about things like that because I have been systematicly optimizing my systems hdd's for a year now . So , why is it performing so weakly ? 

 

EDIT: These are results from a similar 1TB drive (attached file)

Are you sure it's connected to a SATA 2 or 3 port and not original SATA?

 

What sort of benchmark are you doing?

The benchmark is the crystaldiskmark , as shown in the pic . Yes this is connected to a SATA 3 , the mobo is a msi fm2 a75ma e35
