Hello
I own this HDD WDBJRT0040BBK-WESN for almost 2 years. i use it mainly as PS4 Extended storage. I’ve noticed that the HDD has become really slow when writting data.
I’ve read on the internet that when HDD gets filled with data it becomes slower… is that true?
Blockquote The drive is the fastest at the beginning (outside ring of the platters) - and gets slower towards the end of the drive (inside ring of the platters)
on PS4 it used to peak at 50 MB/s now its 6MB/s at best.when installing games.
On PC too the speed decreased from the 100’s MB/s to 50’s MB/s.
I tried formatting the drive and using on PC. at first i got bad 50 MB/s when using default cluster size then i formatted with 32k cluster size and it went above 100 MB/s
