So I got a 4TB usb hdd and within the last 2 weeks I managed to make it show up as 70% fragmented due to deleting files and unpacking many zips in between.. Today I noticed that when writing files on the disk the writing speed drops to almost 0 for 5 seconds and then resumes repeatedly while the file is transferred... The disk is legit and I know that usb drives show that kind of behavior however it definitely got a lot more severe now...

Any help is appreciated!!
