I have an internal Seagate SATA drive that has a good read speed and a
terrible write speed. If I write small files to the drive, Windows reports
that the transfer rate is less than 1MB/sec. Large files have a high speed of
about 13MB/sec. I have enabled write caching and advanced performance in the
hardware tab. I don't think that my antivirus is the problem, because the
drive's read speed is great.

The Windows Experience Index rates my hard drive at 5.5, but I feel that the
drive is the slowest part of the system.

I see on websites that hard drives generally have write speeds that are
40MB/sec and higher.

Does anyone have a suggestion about how to increase the write speed of the
drive?
