[Hekarizblade]

Hello guys my HDD is failing which my friends said it is going to be "DEAD" and im worried because i don't have external Hard Drive and my games are in the HDD so how im gonna extend the life of my HDD that fails

Nop im planning to buy a new SSD or HDD

I am confused .... I suggested buying a new device to replace it but you don't wanna do that ?..... instead you want but a new HD or SSD to replace it with ?

Why not buy both....a new replacement HD w/ a SSD built in.

Hi there Hekarizblade,

If you think that your HDD is going to fail soon, the best thing to do is to back up your data right away. As you currently don't have a replacement(and the data on your current one is valuable), my advise would be not to use the drive until you get one.

I already backup my data sohh that minds that im ready for the the death of my HDD

After all your data is safe and transferred to your new drive, I guess you can use the HDD as a secondary one just to store some unimportant data.
Apart from that, how do you know that your current one is dying(weird noises, slowness, S.M.A.R.T report)?

Weird noises only but it is still fast a little bit but the loading is the problem

Then I guess it is dying indeed. Just use it for storing unimportant data until it completely dies.
