Then it should be pretty easy to whip up a quick routine to test the processor speed, memory bandwidth, and I/O speed (random and sequential), to see if anything looks abnormal. Or there are benchmarking programs on the web that you can use to test your system.

To be honest, nothing you've described sounds abnormal for an HDD. That's why I don't use them to run the operating system in any of my machines, and haven't done so for the greater part of a decade.

Ok thanks , I will do a tests on processor , Memory and I/O speed then I will send you a report on this forum to see If some thing is abnormal.

thank you any way

CPU and memory results look fine to me, but your I/O results are abysmal. I don't know how much of that is "normal" for an HDD, because I don't have any to compare against, but the results of the same test on my work machine with an old SATA-II SSD are:
Code:
sysbench --test=fileio --file-total-size=2G --file-test-mode=rndrw --init-rng=on --max-time=300 --max-requests=0 run

Smile Possible solution to kali slow

I had the very same problem with VirtualBox 5.2.20 and i downgraded the version to 5.2.6 and everithing runs ok

For some reason the latest version of virtualbox has some trouble with kali distribution.

I hope that helps.

Cheers
