Solve : harddrive with slow read/write rates?

Answer»

hi,

I've recently run into DIFFICULTIES with my 1TB samsung F1 spinpoint harddrive...again
in January the partion table wiped itself and i was able to recover the partition (THANKS to this FORUM )and the harddrive worked fine.

Last week though the harddrive became corrupt and was in RAW FORMAT. i recovered the data but found it was reading at 7-8MB a second. and i thought at the time this was because of it being corrupt. (before the corruption the read/write SPEEDS were fine)

After recovering and formating the harddrive the read/write speeds haven't improved.

Are these signs the harddrive is dieing/near dead or could this be fixable in some way?

Computer Specs:
AMD Athlon x64 dual core 4800+ 2.51GHz
2GB of RAM
1x 250GB Hitachi sata harddrive <<< OS installed here
1x 1TB Samsung sata F1 drive <<<1x 1.5 WD sata green drive

ask if any more information is needed Test hard drive with Samsung diagnostics.
