    Hello , I purchased new hdd. Its he fastest hdd drive
    Seagate momentus 7200.4 500GB.

    I did ´test in HD tune and HDtach and I got the same weird graph.

    Performance falls after 2 seconds down to 31,9MB/s which I think
    is not good. I have never seen such a graph and I think my drive
    might be faulty. I did quick error scan in HDtune and no errors were found.

    I attached picture here:

    Thanks for your responses...

    Actually this is quite normal. Happened to me with many different drives.

    What can help is killing many background processes and AV scanners.
    Rerun it a couple of times.

    Yeah, that's normal. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
