Asus ZenBook UX501VW HDD Low Speed

Asked by mahdi

I've got an Asus ZenBook UX501VW with 1TB hard drive as smartctl -i /dev/sdb introduces it:

But the problem is that R/W processes are very slow and time-consuming even when I wanna open the drive, it opens with some significant latency.

The output of sudo iotop -P is as follows (after sort):

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS and I've formatted it as NTFS drive.

I want to know whether the disk has flaws or ubuntu 16.04 has got some incompatibility with it.

Your main IO is your NTFS partition. I suggest you check your NTFS health using Windows.

Can you help with this problem?
