A bit of a weird one here, I've exhausted everything I could think of trying, hoping someone here has an idea.
The harddrive in question is this one https://www.newegg.ca/toshiba-x300-hdwe150xzsta-5tb/p/N82E16822149628
I recently upgraded my computer, I bought a GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI and put an AMD RYZEN 7 3800X into it, accompanied by a 2x16GB of DDR4 RAM. I also have an Nvidia 1080ti. The system is installed to a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD.
Basically, once I set up my new rig, the harddrive immediately stopped working correctly. It's the drive I use for games, whenever I try to launch a game (Total war: Three kingdoms for instance) It takes about 5-10 minutes to load, and about 15 to load into the benchmark. Videos can play on it decently, but they experience blips.
It sounds like a dying drive, however, I plugged it into my father's computer which is made of all my computer's older parts and it works fine, can launch games on it and they behave as expected, nothing behaves out of the expected behavior.
Steps I took to try and remedy this were few, I can't think of what could cause this. I upgraded the bios of the mobo to the latest firmware, I also downloaded the latest chipset drivers for the mobo, there doesn't appear to be any SATA related drivers that aren't RAID related. I also reinstalled windows for good measure to no discernible changes.
I've tried other SATA ports, all of them do the same thing.
Any ideas of what I should do? I don't know if this board just doesn't play nice with bigger HDDs, however unlikely that seems, I'm scared to buy a new 4TB HDD in case the same thing happens.
The only thing I can think of doing is formatting the drive which I'm reluctant to do because I would have to download 3.5TB of data again, but if this is truly the only thing that may help, I will do it. Just wondering if there's something else I may be missing.
