Hey pospo. That's a bit odd, I'd suggest that you download the manufacturer's diagnostic tool and test the drive with it to see if everything's OK. Unfortunately I don't think there's much you can do about the access time of the drive. As for gaming performance, you should look at the random read speed in particular and it won't be bad to get a 7200RPM drive (this will shorten the load time between loading screens and starting up a game etc.)

Hope that helps.
