Hi guys,
For some time my PC has been running slow, and I have worked out that this occurs when the HDD reaches 100% active disk usage. What I have done so far for no success:
- Disk defrag
- Virus scan (No viruses)
- Ran Chkdsk (No bad sectors)
- Ran SeaTools tests (HDD failed 'Self Drive Test' passed 'SMART')
- Examined disk with CrystalDiskInfo (There are 3 cautions, unsure what they mean though)

The disk is only 5400 rpm. Is the HDD on the way out? And if so, when purchasing a new one it's best to get a 7200rpm right?

Thanks guys

I ended up cloning the drive to a new SSD. Problem fixed!
