I benched both drives using a disk speed app
Old - 10.9 seconds
New - 5.2 seconds
Ok here is what I think is happening tell me if this makes sense. The old hard drive was on its way out which is why it slowed down the computer. It also corrupted some files maybe and those are being copied over to the new one. Also some of the permissions are messed up because after repairing them I check it and they're still there.
This is why I want to reformat and do a clean install. But like an idiot i threw away the install CD
