  • Very slow disk speed

    Hello

    Just was running a passmark test on my harddisk.
    Seems crazy, sequential read/write is like ~2.0 (yes TWO).

    I remember getting a bluescreen last weekend and then scandisk fixing an error.

    The smart message from SANDRA give me some strange numbers.

    So is this a sign the harddisk is about to blow up?

    Thanks

    Hard to know. If the SMART numbers are bad then I would start keeping good backups.

    It is definitely worth investigating to try and track down the cause.

      Seems I found it.

      I just kicked out the IDE channel drivers and rebooted.
      Windows reinstalled them.

      Speed was fine again and SMART seemed OK again.
      I made a backup anyway

      Tnx for your help.
