Nor does it seem like there is anything wrong with your drive. Benchmarks look normal, size is perfectly normal, SMART data is normal. I think you're just getting worked up over nothing. If your computer is getting slow it's far more likely that the issue is just some crappy software slowing down your system.
Hi
data-medics, thank you very much for your reply.
The problem occurred quite suddenly and interested ONLY the partitions on that HD; the system was (and is) working fine.
As described in my first post, even after some disk check (scandisk, virus scan & Co), the problem remained.
I'm quite confident that no crappy software were causing this problem, else all the system would be affected and the problem would occur again after the LLF. Instead, is not.
I had already checked the cable connection, both power and SATA, and physically removed the drive from the PC-case slot and test it on an other PC. Then reconnected it in my PC for the diagnostic tests/benchmarks you see above.
It looks like that the Low Level Format have solved/recovered the disk from its previous "faulty" state. Or maybe the physical removal/reconnection from the motherboard/PSU forced the SATA controller to reset it to the normal speed, according to what
arztt said.
I'm using this disk by nearly 5 years and has always worked fine; this is the first time I have issues with it.
