That's exactly the reason your HDD is so slow.
Have seen this before on an 1,5 TB, SATA Samsung HDD (please don't laugh), with IDE Emulation in BIOS. Took me about 2 days to format it and to install the OS on it. As soon as I switched to native SATA in BIOS, everything went smooth: less than 30 mins from start to end.
