WD Caviar Black 1TB Slow?
Hello!
I've just installed a new computer and I don't know if my Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA Hard Drive ( WD1001FALS) is slow or not. Are there any drivers or updates for the disk?

Normal for a 1Tb Black.
Mine shows about the same.
There is nothing wrong with the drive! I have the exact same drive.
That looks spot on to me, I have a 1TB WD Caviar Black that I use for storage and this is how mine checked out.
Drivers will rarely make disc I/O "faster". You're limited by mechanical delays and not "access strategy". More cache is better. Having Write Caching on helps.
