Hi there lorenzom13,

You can test the drive with WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool(both short and extended tests). The results should show you if there is something wrong with the drive.
In case the drive passes both tests, you can defragnent it and run the benchmark tests again. See if this will change something.

Let us know how this goes,

I'm not sure if i'm interpreting that graph right but did the entire thing get written to? I would expect some slowdowns near capacity. As for the humps I have not used that program so it may just be presenting the info differently than say taskmanager. Or it could be how it actually creates a read/write scenario. Try a big file on task manager and see what it looks like. I have the exact same drive (a single 1TB currently in use) and the transfer speeds don't seem off as a whole.

Write (the first 25% is an effect from Intel RTS from the previous read)
