Hi there Rui Neves,

Even though the drive is 5400 RMP, it really shouldn't get slow when browsing internet and copying stuff. I would advise you to test the drive with brand specific testing tool. This will show you the overall health status of the drive. My guess is that there are some bad sectors on it.
