Looking into options, i found a solution. I thought so, that querying smart status every 1 cycle is excessive. That is by default. Modified it to DISK smart every 5000 cycles and Emb Controller every 5000 cycles (idk what that is but just in case i set it too) and alas. speeds are back to...
thank you for contacting the Toshiba Storage Products Division.
We generally do not support 3rd party software and are not aware of such a problem.
Please use smartmontools (Windows, Linux, MacOS) or CrystalDiskInfo (Windows) or other SMART diagnostic tools for an error report...
Can you advise me on what to do. Or to warn other users with this firmware that it's faulty or something?
This hard disk is pretty popular.
Toshiba P300 3 Tb.
Updated to 7.11-4545 issue is still present.
will delete header now.
nope. speed is down to 106 MB/s.
Update.
Also disabled SMART monitoring, speed is back to stock!
Ran a benchmark. Was hard to figure out the cause for the bad HDD performance,
until i did.
As long as hwinfo64 sensors is running
speed from 200 MB /S to 100MB/s
Motherboard Name Asus Prime H310M-R R2.0
CPU Type HexaCore Intel Core i5-8500, 4000 MHz (40 x 100)

I am kind of annoyed by the fact that every time the latest version of hwinfo64 starts (as of now version 5.10) the main window start up alongside the sensors tab, which is what i use hwinfo for. There is no option to minimize, in options.
I did't have this problem on previous versions...
