I agree with okcnaline, performance benchmarks are not means of measuring a drives health. That's what SMART is for.

If the question is do you need to back up everything, the answer is YES. You always need a backup. Never trust a single drive with anything of value. Drives can go downhill very fast or without warning. But we can tell nothing about the drive except that it's working from the benchmarks.

I'm more annoyed about the speed of the disk... Can you guys tell me if it's slow AF for a mechanical HD or its on the norm?

anyway, im buying a KingFast SSD F9M mSATA ssd 512GB from aliexpress... 67€ + 3€ (adaptor msata to Sata and case) ...
The slowest SSD is faster than the fastest HDD so why even bother with it?

The problem is that im using this Slow as <removed>HDD has my main drive (it has the OS) and it's slow as hell to open the computer...
I have 8gb ram, a GTX 580 and a Intel E5450... But the disk is slowing everything
