Is indexing meant to allow faster access times?

Go to the HDD Manufa site and check what utilties they have or find some HDD
testing program. If its WD use Data lifeguard tools from their site.

Go to your HD manfacturer's site and check of they have a utility program,
like Western Digital's data life guard to run tests.
