Review on Seagate Barracuda 500GB ST500DM002 SATA 3.5 Internal Hard Drive - 7200 RPM by Stanislaw Gorka ᠌

The OScomnstantly hangs during any simple operations, while the RAM and CPU load is minimal, but the disk load is under 100%, at first I thought that I got a defective disk, but I did SeaTools tests, everything is normal. I did a speed test and most likely the problem is the speed of writing small files, for example, for 512KB, on my old disk it is 4220222 MB / s ! The test was performed on a freshly installed OS + drivers, the disk was marked and formatted with a standard utility during OS installation. - CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1(C) 2022-2022 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World: - * MB/s = 1,000,000 byte/s [SATA/300 = 300,000,000 byte/s] Sequential Read : 179.581 MB/s Sequential Write : 165.391 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 54.953 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 17.808 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.594 MB/s [ 145.1IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.599 MB/s [ 146.1IOPS] Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 0.707 MB/s [ 172.7IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.431 MB/s [ 105.3IOPS] Test : 1000 MB [C: 0.6% (2.8/465.8 GB)] (x2) Date : 2022/07/19 16:36:02 OS : Windows XP Professional SP3 [5.1 Build 2600] (x86)
