Worrying HDD Benchmark Result
Hello. Recently I have reinstalled Windows on my computer and since I have two hard drives, I thought it'd be a good idea to check their S.M.A.R.T. and how fast they are. I have one drive that has mysterious 100MB hidden system partition and the OS partition that I have created myself. It's a 120GB TOSHIBA MK1255GSH H taken out of an old PS3 console. I also have this 4 years old 160GB (Western Digital) WDC WD1600BEVT-60ZCT1 which is split in half - partition D:\ for my programs and partition E:\ for all my documents.
Now, I did a benchmark on both of these using free version of HDTune (2.55) the results were quite worrying
Here is the WD (D: ,E: ) drive: (Click here to see S.M.A.R.T.)
It's not fast but the read speed line is fairly stable.
And here is my Toshiba (OS - C:) drive, this is the one I am worried about: (Click here to see S.M.A.R.T.)
The read speed line kept jumping up and down like crazy, as far as I know, when it's that spiky, that isn't a good sign.
So, would any of you guys please have a look at my S.M.A.R.T. or the benchmarks and tell me if something isn't right?
Is that spiky line a normal thing on an OS drive?
Thanks :)
