Hello
I have two WD blue 500GB HDDs, both WD5000AAKX-00ERMA0
I got the first one (D drive) in July 2012, to replace my previous drive that starting getting so low performance, that I couldnt even use the OS.
I've used it until october from last year when I got a new drive, and since then I've had it unplugged in my case between the other two.
I got the second WDblue (B drive) in november 2013 after I noticed the broken one had warranty.
The D drive is currently slower than the B one
Some benchmarks:

It got 113mbps in dxtory benchmark the in the first days when I tested it, now 80Mbps when 75% full
D drive:
When 75% full:
I've saved too many screenshots that now I dont even remember which one is each lol, some are 32/64bit versions(can be seen in the pic), and some using almost all cpu in other programs(the results seemed a little different)

Now gets 80mbps in dxtory benchmark
I've gotten a low risk event id 36 in acronis drive monitor while doing the first benchmarks a few days ago, and two high risk id 57 ones today when doing the last benchmarks (the drive was not specified in the second events, but I guess it was the D one). Disk health is at 100%
So my question is: should I RMA the D drive? it has about 5 days left of warranty
Thanks in advance ^^
