Could my new GP TB drives be dying?

I have 3 - 1 TB WD green drives hooked up to a PCI 4 port sata card, just something simple, cheap and they are running as JBOD. Well I can transfer things to the drive with no problems at all, I went to copy something off tonight and the drive just crawls! It was under 500mb and it took it almost 4 mins to copy off that drive to another drive.

Is this just the performance of the drive or should I be running a fitness test to see if it truly is dying? :mad:
 
Try setting the jumper for the HDD to SATA 1, your PCI card may have problems with SATA 2
