Hey guys, I ran crystaldiskmark on my 2 weeks old hard drive (seagate barracuda 2tb 256mb cache 7200rpm) and the sequential read/write seems to be way off from advertised speeds, should I be worried?

Picture on the left is my old ~6 year old HDD and on the right is the new one. (This is a 2nd new drive cause the first one also showed similar results after a couple weeks so I exchanged it for the same one)

Edit : photo on the left seems like its the same F drive tested, but the screenshot is after I switched the drive letter to do the next test but this is in fact the result from the older HDD
