TOSHIBA HDWC130EW3J1 STOR.E CANVIO 3.5" 3TB is the hdd. Nothing has changed except that i used to be on Windows 8 Pro, but i formatted my hdd (internal one) and clean installed Win 8.1 Pro.
I noticed the slowness first when i tried my video codec (using K-Lite Mega Codec Pack with player) when i skip the video, doesn't matter how much, the video stops for a few seconds, which wasn't happening before, i thought that something was wrong with the codec and/or player, didn't really care about it. Then i wanted more space on it to backup my steam games, and tried to copy some of the files to my internal but the maximum speed was 200KBps. I tested it and here is the result of it.
HDD did not move an inch, nothing dropped on it, no physical interference, not changed its place or whatsoever. The only difference was upgrade from win 8 to 8.1. I did NOT install any of the motherboard drivers (which are for win 7)
incase it is relevant my pc specs are;
Amd FX-8350 (no oc at all, all stock)
Gigabyte 990xa-ud3
Gskill Ripjaws series 2x4 GB DDr3 1333 ram
(it is not relevant but) Inno 3D GTX560 (%10 oc, to 900 MHz)
do you think that it has something to do with motherboard drivers? Also since it is connected through USB 3 maximum reading speed i have seen is 40 MB, do you think it is normal for usb 3? i havent used usb3 tbh so i am inexperienced.
