I was talking about crystaldiskmark. I wanted to see what kind of performance you are getting on your disk drives. Too low and you likely have an issue at the disk or controller level.

try running crystaldiskmark (it's free) and see what kind of numbers you get.
CrystalDiskInfo said that my 1TB drive was okay but had this to say about my 500GB drive:
ID Current Worst Threshold Raw Values Attribute Name
C5 100 100 __0 000000000001 Current Pending Sector Count
C6 100 100 __0 000000000001 Uncorrectable Sector Count
I have absolutely no idea what that means.

If it's a SATA controller issue. Is that a software issue that can be fixed or a hardware issue with the mobo itself? How would I best confirm such an issue?
Okay, here's the cyrsta mark numbers. C and D are both the same physical drive. C has been partitioned and only holds my O.S. and essential files that need to be installed there.

Now, I don't really know what any of this means.
