I have a Seagate Barracuda 120 GB SATA HDD 8mb buffer
I just started using it as a primary HDD a few days ago, This HDD is taken out from a Dell desktop, My friend told me that Dell told him this HDD is not OK. But he didn't wanna waste it it is still working.

Anyway I'm working on it as a primary HDD now and it's fine but I can feel that it is somewhat slower than my WD 80GB IDE HDD 2mb buffer.
And sometimes it lags when I copy stuff I hear the mp3 lags.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I tried to repartition it when it first came, It gave me some error when I tried to make extended partitions, so I ended up making it just one primary partition.
Also the it is louder than my WD, It's annoying. I feel like I'm working on an HDD from the 90s

Any Idea how I could identify the problem !!
