Hello.
I have a system with 4 mechanical HDDs and I have installed FreeBSD 12.1-p10 on one of them but it seems that FreeBSD runs a bit slow.
By "slow" I mean that, for example, when installing a package with pkg(8) the extraction of some - not all - packages is really slow (for example I have installed the Papirus icon theme and extracting it after downloading took about 10-15 minutes). And starting the GUI (Xfce 4.14) sometimes takes a bit longer than usual. Other than these hiccups, the system seems to run fine.
So, I'm thinking that there could be problems with the drive on which FreeBSD was installed so I booted into Debian and ran a long smartctl(8) test on FreeBSD's drive (
I don't know how to interpret these, are they good or bad?

smartctl -t long /dev/sdc
-> that is the FreeBSD's disk). These are the results:
