Question Why is my Hybrid hard drive running 15mbs

[treant234]

Last year I purchased a 1tb Seagate Firecuda. Ever since my first install its been extremely slow. I'm not very good with computers and I would like some help getting things running properly. Any ideas of what the issue could be?

I know that it's been installed correctly in my motherboard.







my specs:



cpu i5-9400F


gpu gtx 960


motherboard z390 M gaming


ram 8gb ddr4 hyper x


psu 500w bronze evga

I had a firecuda as well, and iirc the hybrid/ssd part is only 8gb. So after that's full and depending on what actually installed onto it, it's just a standard HDD. I never noticed any difference between that and my wd blue. You may not have any issues, it may just be the way it is. That was my experience with mine. I know not much help, just my experience with the same drive.

That sounds about right to me. The only thing I don't understand is the extremely slow speeds I'm getting. It's getting to the point where simple tasks take up 100% of my hard drives performance.

You can get in contact with Seagate support here to check on the drive.

Download, install, and then run Seagate Seatools Seagate tech support will have you do that anyways...

If Seatools passes its testing then download, install, & run CrystalDiskInfo. Take a screenshot of the image, host it on an imagehosting site such as tinypic or imgur and provide a link to it here for us.

Can you also run a benchmark application for us and link us an screenshot of that as well. Thank you.
