Hello,
Firstly, i have a problem with hard disk (partition dissapearing while copying) after this i installed the SATA/AHCI intel chipset drivers. Now it's fine but copy speed is very low.
Look this video: first part from Seagate HDD to a SSD then from Seagate HDD folder to other folder on same HDD.

And here is a screenshot from HD Tune: https://i.gyazo.com/cc0acd8281715ffb86132d5783e0bedf.png
I've tryed chkdsk and resolved something but nothing changed. I've tried today defrag with a special software and says 20hours remaining after 3 hours.
What is wrong?

Hi there Andrei_17,

Even though the drive has no bad sectors, it seems that it has some read/write errors. My suggestion would be to not keep important data on it.
It's good that you've changed the SATA cable. You can change the power ones as well. Attaching the drive to another SATA port will be a good idea.
If you attach it to another system, you will be absolutely sure if all of this is related to the HDD or to something else in your system.

Let us know how this goes,

Make sure that the cable is SATA 3 as this will stop you experiencing the speeds expected. I would also recommend to get the important stuff off encase it is a problem with the drive as @D_Know_WD stated.
