re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

hello everyone,
today when i was transferring data(20.6GB) from my C drive to another partition it started from 16MB/S and gradually dropped to 6.64MB/S !!
s.jpg
it is ver ver slow guys.! iwant to ask is the same happening for you all guys too?
or should i get my HARD DISK replaced?
if i get it replaced can i get it of some brand other than TOSHIBA??(my current being TOSHIBA)
abd during this process my lappy became so slow..it opened google chrome in 2 mins and is taking too much time in opening new tabs and other things like opening movies etc..?multitasking is so slow in this laptop. :(

^Open the back panel and reconnect your HDD after taking it out. Then post the results.

HP is shipping 2005AX with different hard disk manufactures..earlier ones had Segate..myself having Hitachi...you got toshiba..some other user also posted same problem with toshiba..thats why your WEI rating for hard disk is 5.4 only ...

Use HDTach. But there won't be much performance difference between 5400rpm drives across manufacturers. SSD is the real deal! I just hope thanks to this laptop's popularity someone will create a optical to hard drive caddy so we can replace the DVD drive with a SSD - dual hard drive setup

BTW the new 12.10 update only brings UI changes. The performance updates are only for top cards like 7970m. Anandtech promises better drivers by the year end so don't update yet.

Now that we are on HDD, my HDD speed is so sucky. How can I find which brand HDD do I have?

Most chances are its company name would be there in the name itself in device manager. If not, check hardware ID, it will have the info for sure.
