[Very low "Random read Speed"]

Thank you very much for your reply. I am not familiar with the different levels of Defrag, such as "full partition defrag" so if you have the time to instruct me, that would be great, otherwise, I'll try to find out myself.

[Very low "Random read Speed"]

I have in the past few days benchmarked my drive a few times and I never get a result above 1.5 MBs which might be the reason why my computer is extremely slow.

I have now upgraded the processor with the hope that it would improve, but it did not and again, if it is a HDD problem, it will not improve I guess.

What is strange that I benchmarked another drive, and it give two very different results on each of the two volumes on it. I expected it to be a mechanichal problem, but if the result are markedly different on the same drive for each volume, then obviuosly I do not understand what this benchmarking is and what to do with the results.

Thank you for your help.
