It's a couple years old external HDD. I am using Ext HD enclosure of USB3.
Anyway, I used to get speeds of around 60mb/s when copying a movie to it.
Nowadays, I get a very unstable speeds. it can go upto 60mb/s one second and then drop to 4mb/s and then even lower and then higher and etc.
It makes clicking noises also. I tested on multiple PCs so I know issue is in the HDD.
I ran a chkdsk including a check for bad space. it said nothing was found.
I could defrag it, but I don't think that's the issue.
Unfortunately, I don't have another EXT HD enclosure nor a USB cable right now to test with, to check if maybe they cause the issue.
Anything else I can do?
Thanks!
