Howdy,
The problem I'm having is the drive is running dirt slow. All SeaTools for Windows tests pass OK however HDTach has reported dodgy performance before of around 4MB/s. Now it's better at 84MB/s reading.
I have an identical drive to the one mentioned above which is operating OK and not showing these symptoms.
The drive is still under the 5 year warranty so I can't get it replaced. My question is will a format help the situation at all? Or is it done for?!
Thanks.
