Recently, I used CrystalDiskInfo and found out this screenshot.

Is my HDD overused? It's always extensively used for a number of purposes like installing Windows, storing my collection of movies, songs etc. and games.

My system also runs slow enough. How long should I expect my HDD to survive before it's not reliable any more?

Replace it, it started to move bad sectors, also spin startup error is motor unable to spin disc.

Before replacing download hdtunepro, post screenshot of it since crystal showed me wrong info sometimes for my hdd's.

2.5 years of constant work isnt that much long.
Mine has been running for good 8 years.

Also backup your data just in case.

sidratulmuntaha2026, just in case and to be prepared for anything, it is important to have a good back up plan in place. The conventional wisdom by tech experts on backups is known as the 3-2-1 method.

Basically you want:

3 copies of any data you don't want to lose
2 different mediums it's stored on.
1 copy kept offsite, to prevent against disaster.

Thanks a lot, guys.

I'm considering to change my HDD with a new one and adding a boot SSD as well.

"How long.." is unknowable.

It could die tomorrow, it could last another 10 years.
Drives die. All of them, eventually.

Backups of your data is the key aspect here.
