Hi.
I bought my new PC around 8 months ago, My HDD got a 99% score on UserBenchmark.
4 months ago i got another test and it was 93% and still working good.
Recently i was looking for an upgrade for my graphics card and i noticed my HDD is performing way below expectations and average of it's type, it had a 70% score.
I have been noticed the long booting times and very slow copying/cutting a few weeks before that.
I defragged it and still it's working really slow. Boot times changed from 42s to 2-3 minutes...
Is it normal to get the HDD destroyed in 8 months or there is a specific problem?
The HDD has 360gb free space.

Also this happens when copying/cutting,The speed decreases and slowly goes up again, Is this normal? (it didn't happen when it was new)

Solution
1. Usually the boot time thing can be laid directly at Windows feet more than anything else.... things such as you have described are oft solved by a fresh install.

2. Have you disabled Windows ability to install hardware drivers, If not, do so.

3. Have you routinely defragged the HD ? If not, do so.

4. Have you run Disk CleanUp ... yeah, ya know what comes next :)
