Nope, i have also to disable SMART support otherwise i will also get performance issues (not as much but still present)

Another test, this time with user benchmark:
HWINFO
NO HWINFO
So yea, for some reason it seems the HDD is performing bad while HWINFO is running.

Hi
There is something strange happening while testing my new HDD (Toshiba DT01ACA200) while Hwinfo (5.92-3580) is running
this is the performance graph i'm getting with HDtune:
also i'm getting microstuttering while editing videos so for a moment i though my HDD was defective.
But then...
It hangs on "detecting video adapters" for around 30-35 secs
and another 10 secs on "detecting sensors"
the mouse don't respond to commands on that time either.
After the long start up all works fine though.
It happen with all the versions i have tried so far, with my old graphic card...
