I have recently noticed that the performance of my drive is horrible. It is a 1.5 Tb drive with only 135Gb of info on it (not my OS drive). It shows 0% fragmentation. I am not sure if my drive is dying or another component of my system is going but the speeds are too erratic to be correct. I ran HD Tune on it and I am attaching the results. One was done about 12 hours before the other with no system changes. It is still under warranty but I am deployed so I dont know if I will be able to get a replacement from WD while I am gone. I would be greatful for any help I can get. 13-May-2012_01-41.png13-May-2012_16-38.png

The green drive does not have a amazing performance, however is less noisy than any other unit. Perhaps that's the reason you are encoutering this problem. I'll recommend you to get black drive or even blue.
