I just ran a HD Tune Test and here is the result:

This is a test result I found on google for the same 5400.3 HD but lower capcity (80GB vs 120GB)

Obviously..something isn't very right here since my HD has a big flat spot (1.1MB/s) past the 70% mark.
The access time is also significantly higher. Is there anything I can do here or this is just the result of an aging HD?

*btw...I ran the test on the HD while it is being used as the primary/OS drive. Not sure how much that would affect the test result. I turned off all programs during the test.
