The powered on hours is most likely about right. I rarely turn my machine

it is a pain to remove so I just left it in there in case I needed it.
Is it a WD Caviar Black by any chance? I have vague memories of seeing
something saying they don't power off in firmware if unused...
Anyway, those UDMA errors are a bigger problem I suspect, as they will
slow things down as the disk has to recover from the errors. Are you
seeing any of the numbers change as you leave it running?

Right now its not even in use. It's not mounted or anything but it is
getting power. I was using a week or so ago for /var and something
else. I can't recall at the moment. I'm not sure if I am going to us
it anymore or not. If it stays this slow, I know I'm not. lol
Got to love newegg for this part. This is a link to the drive.
