About a week ago, I started having a freezing issue with my computer- the screen would lock up, my mouse and keyboard didn't work, all I could do was turn it off at the power button. It would then restart, but it would take 20-30 minutes to boot up again. It happened 5 or 6 times before I realized it was a permanent problem.
So I checked the appropriate system logs and found that one of my SSDs was reporting a bad sector. As it was the only problem being reported, I assumed that it was the source of the issue, even though it's just a basic 2TB storage drive that I haven't accessed in months and just sits there idle.
So I fired up CHKDSK to see what could be done about repairing the drive. It started out great: it identified several corrupted files which it either repaired or deleted, and was going through the 1,684,236 files at the rate of about 11,000 per hour. Still, at that rate, it was going to busy for about a week.
Two days later, it has slowed to the rate of 7 files per hour, and it has not further identified any bad files for about 20 hours. My question is, Is there a good reason that CHKDSK has slowed down to this pace, and is there anything I can do about it, besides wait for literally the next 5 years for it to finish?
Thanks.
