Hi, I just made a New PC With a 2TB HDD on first it was good with a copying speed of 30MBps but now it's Like Copy speed of 5MBps sometimes 10MBps and it's reading data slow too Can Anyone tell me what's up with the HDD and How to Fix It like Before!! Thxx by the Way

Either it's dying and time to replace, or a simple defrag process will fix it. If defragmenting the drive changes nothing, immediately backup and replace the drive as the data isn't safe.

Hey there

 

I would back everything important from the drive up to another drive and then do some tests to see if the drive is healthy or not.

I would get a diagnostic tool from the manufacturer's website and run the quick and the extended tests and see if the drive passes them. It's also a good idea to get the raw values of the S.M.A.R.T. status as they will give you a more detailed information about the drive's health.

Defragging should improve the drive's performance if the data on it is fragmented. 

What's the drive's brand and model?
