Is this HD failing ?
I've just burnt a 3 Gb movie to DVD in about 2 minutes, yet when I tried to move the same file from one hard drive to another the pop up box was quoting one hour to move the file.
The file transfer speed started out at about 6Mb a second, then gradually got slower and slower. In the pic it is showing 1.8 per second but it got slower than this until in the end I cancelled the transfer.
This disk has just been formatted and it totally clean (apart from one folder "MSOCache" and one file "msdia80.dll" which I assume were put there during the format process as I never put them there).
This drive used to be very slow and hung a lot when I had windows installed on there, so I changed my windows installation drive and formatted that one ready for storage (I've had no problems with windows since I changed the drive). I've run chkdsk and it found no problems. Are there any other apps that could test this drive.
So should I bin this drive and replace it or could it be some other issue.
