Wdc wd5000aakx-00u6aa0

Sorry but I don’t understand HDD or IT so I decided to ask. This HDD (Caviar Blue WDC WD5000AAKX-00U6AA0) does not show its real speed and I noticed crashes and slowness with Windows and in tests the read speed is 40mbps/50mbps, is there any way to fix this? S.M.A.R.T data looks normal in all utilities I used, but HDD is very bad and slow, thanks in advance.

I’ll try because even with Linux and BSD it’s bad to use it :face_exhaling: thank you very much.
