I am clumsy and my recently purchased hdd paid the price for it. I knocked it off of a table by accident no more than 2 feet from the ground. It was wrapped in an anti static bag and another plastic bag as well which I had hoped softened the fall. A few days after installing it into my new gaming rig and downloading the os (W10) ,drivers for my components, steam and uPlay it started having a few issues. It was at 100% disk usage almost constantly and the computer was unbearably slow and took almost an 1hr to boot and even longer to restart. I know this is often a Windows 10 bug but I tried every fix I could find and they worked only very temporarily but they worked permanently on my W10 laptop w/ the same issue. Someone scanned it for me and said it showed some errors on the disk and windows even warned me to backup my data elsewhere.
I stupidly bought an old used hdd from someone I know to cut costs. Could dropping it have caused all these issues or could it be something else?
I do remember seeing what looked like a pending update but could not get round to downloading since the computer was so slow and unresponsive.
