    Ive tested the HDD and it runs perfect in another pc.

    The low minimum transfer rate only happened when Windows was doing something in the background. But i did like others think it was still too low.

    From what I read, it seems your files are everywhere and needs a defrag or reformat.

    Did you run HD Tune in Safe Mode to see if you have the problem ?

    My filesystem is and has always been at 0% Fragmented and I always use the Defragmenter after a Windows installation.
