it's an old seagate 500gb 5200rpm my 2 new HDD's were DOA so i have to use this one but it's very slow compared to my old computer don't know why?
 
Your old PC probably ran a faster OS, like Windows XP, which played nice with the old HDD. As others stated, you should get a larger and faster HDD and/or an SSD. At least a Western Digital 2 TB 7200 RPM HDD should do the trick. As for the SSD, the Samsung 840 Pro is an excellent choice.
