roguekiller23231 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 i really just want to know what might be causing the issue rather than anything else, it's not a problem at the moment as the drive is only used for video's and such, so speed isnt that essential. the problem is the 3rd drive i have, a Samsung F3 2TB drive, it's been this way for a long time, i think since i got it, all the drives (except the seagate) are about 2 or more years old. all 3 internal drives are connected through the same Sata controller Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2958#sp the Internal drives are connected to the SATA 3Gb/s connectors. this is the results of benchmarking: Samsung F1 Samsung F2 Samsung F3 Samsung F3 S.M.A.R.T information Seagate Expansion drive (this one's through USB 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 It could be that the drive is failing, as the access time is way off and that will result in significantly lower speeds. They're similar drives so it shouldn't be a chipset / driver issue. It's worth checking the SATA cable, as I had a drive that I thought was failing but it turned out the cable was simply loose.
