I had an HDD which failed* for some reason so I had to purchase a new SSD ASAP. Everything is currently in my only SSD so I bought a new 1TB Barracuda HDD. I had problems with installing the new HDD so I had to RMA it twice. I now have a third HDD which initially had the same problems so I began to suspect that it wasn't the hard drive's issue so I bought to a friend. He just unallocated the drive and it was up and running.
But, it's always at 100% usage even when there is no file transfer. and when there are file transfers, its response time is in the thousands of ms and the transfer rate is between 0.8 and 5 MBps and sometimes even stays at 0 MBps.
*P.S. I'm not sure if it's related but that buddy of mine tried put the old HDD in an enclosure and found that it was completely fine. All of my files were there. But for some reason, my PC wouldn't boot off the HDD.
P.P.S. Before the fix, hooking up the HDD would get me stuck at the BIOS loading screen.
