My model is ST1000DM003-1SB102
A few weeks ago I brought my PC to a technician because I was getting BSODs (warranty still got 3 months left so if all fails I will bring it back, although I'd prefer to fix it from home because I have to do schoolwork and the PC is important). I assumed the HDD was at fault because I was getting crazy slow transfer speeds in the range of kilobytes to about 5 MB (sometimes dropped to 0 B/s). I was also having trouble playing videos and sounds and other media on the drive.
To my surprise the technician contacted me after a while & told me he hasn't found any problems, saying that probably some driver was at fault. So he just reinstalled it and the BSODs seemed to disappear, the HDD seemed to be fast again, too.
But now some weeks later the HDD is terribly slow again! No BSOD so far though. The weird thing is sometimes I get very fast transfer speeds, but mostly it's very slow, like transferring in 500 KB/s or some 5 MB/s at max. These things should not happen am I correct? I can't play videos either, they lag and then crash.
So I ran a chkdsk /r /f, Windows told me there was a bunch of the following
But at the end it said
Naturally I thought it got repaired after all and the transfer speed seemed to be very fast again. However the very next day it went back to being sluggish.
Right now I'm running SeaTools, Short and Long generic tests failed (once or twice passed, though, I don't get it...) and I'm on Fix All Long, but I doubt it will resolve anything hence I'm posting here
(apologies for the lengthy post I thought I'd be better if I explain it all in detail)
