The drive is working normally.
I can't agree. The reason I scanned the drive was poor performance during the boot of the system (Windows 7 Home Edition), also during each load of application.
At my work, most of the workstations have the same operation system and loads it from the similar HDDs. Comparing to them, my drive performs very badly. I wound't bother anyone on this forum, if my drive would work just a little slower then those I have daily contact with.
Moreover, when I was watching the MHDD test, when it reached those "faulty areas" it definitely slowed to its 50% of average speed, counting more or less of course.
But from Your suggestions I assume, that I have nothing left to do then to try to erase the drive and see if its performance increases or just leave it, because whether I like it or not, the drive operates within acceptable limits, and even if it would still have warranty, I couldn't claim it.
Well... it seems that I will simply replace it, because I have unused Western Digital 1TB Black Series drive, which is fine and which I'm sure will outperform that poor WD Blue one.
Nevertheless, I've become intrigued with Your suggestions, I changed my mind and I believe I will work with that messy WD and try to revive it.
When I get some results I will post them.
Any other suggestions, how to work with that drive?
