Hello, recently i bought a new HDD, a Seagate Barracuda 1TB "ST1000DM003", i had some Windows 10 100% disk usage problem but i managed to work around it, but i started looking for the crystaldiscmark score and i saw that some people got 250read 230write, Basically my question are the following speed normal for this HDD? Thank you very much in advance.

Hi there GuillermoMR,

Read/write speed could be affected by multiple factors. Furthermore, this is your OS drive. This could affect the read/write speed as well. So, these could be some decent values.
My advice would be to test the drive with a tool that can provide a SMART report. This would show its overall health status. If there are some abnormal values, just back up the data stored on the HDD.
