Help.
I've noticed, over a period of time, that Installing / patching games seems to take ages on my PC.
Now I have a half decent PC and it got quite annoying.
So... I just ran a HDD test on my PC using "HD Tach", and it seems my samsung spinpoint HD160JJ (SATAII) has an average read/write of 7MB/s.
I ran the same test on my old Western Digital drive, that I keep for dumping media on, and found that it had an average of 60Mb/s.
Seems somewhat harsh....
Any Ideas what would cause a SATA HDD to run so slowly without errors?
