What can cause a mechanical hard drive to perform like this....
The speed is acceptable but keeps dropping and in some cases will drop to zero for several seconds. The snapshot was taken when it was in the process of falling to zero (I missed the zero, but 4.64 is pretty close!).
What's really puzzling about this is that I have an identical PC and the other one is doing the same thing. If anything, it is a little worse ( they are mirrored so identical everything including HD content).
I don't think it's down to the PC, because I have SSD's in there, and they are performing just fine. It also isn't a read problem, it's a write problem. Reading is just fine.
The drives are about half full. Could this be something to do with it?
