Timing buffered disk reads: 24 MB in 3.23 seconds = 7.42 MB/sec
When it was new last summer: Timing buffered disk reads: 770 MB in 3.00 seconds = 256.62 MB/sec # hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc ... Timing buffered disk reads: 22 MB in 3.29 seconds = 6.68 MB/sec
I booted my Crucial backup SSD long enough to run hdparm. Its buffered disk reads are more than twice as fast as the failing PNY was when new, 540+ MB/sec in 42.3, 15.0 & TW. I'm back using the old slug for now. Waiting a few days to clone from it seems likely easier than trying to find out what software was installed on it since the backup was made.
