[solved] Slow Disk speed SATA help

[yungyulli]

hello, it just accured to me that my harddrive is really slow. I used black magic design test and it said I only get about 50mbps write and 50 mbps read.
I took this my drive from an old laptop I had ( not too old ) so its not new or anything but it might be failing? or maybe there is a hackintosh tip I missed about harddrives?got any recommendations? thanks

Compare with performance in Windows.
For an older, likely 5400rpm HDD that's not too far off expectations.

Also...
No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
