Comment on my HDD Read/Write times (Is it failing?)

[MetroxGamer]

Hey guys
I bought Need For Speed 2015 for PC and my PC can supposedly run it on Ultra all maxed out, but a lot of times when I'm racing, map parts fail to load and I supposed I'd test my HDD to check if it's failing.
Do you think that these speeds are okay? It's a Western Digital Blue 7200RPM 1Tb running on SATA2 with 64Mb Cache

Downloaded, shows me a bunch of values that go way down, I selected copy and put them here http://pastebin.com/fZP5DcTb
The drive in question is the WD10EZEX-19M2NA0, but if you could also provide input on the secondary one (I salvaged it from my old laptop, it's now around 8 years old) it'd be great
Thanks!

As I said the Hitachi one is a secondary HDD with nothing but downloaded stuff, pictures and etc, the game and every program is being ran on the WD drive. I'm now downloading the tool you suggested, will report back in a second

you could do the same after with hitachi and i presume it will fail one test .

Meanwhile it's Extended Testing the WD drive, the home screen where it displays both of them shows the Hitachi drive as PASS on S.M.A.R.T. status but after it finishes I'll run both tests on it

 

[scout_03]

could pass short but does not give a alert without any reason .

These were the results, it says PASSed on all 4 tests. Contrasting that with the SMART info from both the WD and Hitachi drives, what can you gather?

you have other sata cable laying round i would try them drive report good . also the main drive is nearly full and when was the last time you clean up junk on it and made a defrag .

http://i.imgur.com/545fWdF.png here is the result with another SATA cable and a different SATA port. It seems that a different port and cable made an actual difference, I'm going to head over into the game and test
Also, the drive isn't "nearly full". http://i.imgur.com/3dGBGk1.png as you may see here, it's not even at half capacity.

i would try it with the new cable on first sata port on board and what you have as files on it for 500 gig could you partition it in 2 part .
