    I ran Hdtune earlier and I got this result. Isn't it a little strange that minimum speed is only 1.9 mb/s? Or am I worrying for nothing?

    How many process do you have running?

    Where you using your PC for anything else?

    Try terminating your virus scanner and as many processes as possible.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I re-tried with your tips and got pretty much the same results. So I guess we can eliminate that possibility?

    Edit: I have only 30 processes running.

    A process is taking up HD resources causing it to dip very low.

    Try disabling as much unnecessary processes as you can in the background.
