 Posted: Wed, 20th Jan 2016 15:34 Post subject: Laughable disk performance after 1 year? |
|
 |
November 2014 I bought this Seagate 2TB drive, so it's now a little more than a year old. Since I have my primary download folder on it, I noticed my torrent download speeds would lately max out at ~12 mb/s, which is ridiculous, seeing how they should be at 90-100.
Changed my download directory to my SSD and it jumped back up to ~95. So I used CrystalDisk to check the speeds, and this is the result:
Conversely, I did the same test on one of my other drives, for example, this i my 3TB Toshiba:
Both are 7200 rpm, 64mb cache drives. I mean what the fuck, just a year old and already showing this much drop in performance? It's near unusable. Not really, but I bet my 2TB 5400rpm WD is faster..
Nothing I can do, are there?

the drive is most likely only fragmented as hell, what about defragging it?

Fragmentation is at 4% according to Defraggler. Not exactly a lot.

I suppose you've already checked its SMART status?
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

As a comparison, I'd run your torrent on the Toshiba instead of the SSD.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance.

It could very well be related to the torrent at that particular time. Or maybe some other process was using your disk at the same time.
I've got a less than one year old WD Blue at 7200 rpm that performs worse than your Seagate. But its almost full aswell.

Free space?
Perhaps you need to do a free space defragmentation? It takes quite some time on a disk that big but is usually a good thing on large non-SSD drives.
Perfect Disk 13/14 will do a free space defrag.

bs should match the size of the disk cache, so use bs=64M.
