Hi, is there any way of, at least for a while, saving my HDD? I know I should buy a new one, but I would like to use this one for a while if possible.
 
Solution
While you can, copy the data off to some other storage device.
The, relegate this one to the dump.
There is no real "fix".


Drives die.
Eventually, all of them.
This one appeasrs to be near the grave.

I think most modern HDDs have hard cap for the time before starting to completely die. My Seagate has started showing the same symptoms recently, after about 1660 days (similar to yours as I can see) of service, its speed can't even surpass 2-5MB/s anymore. Even copying the remaining existing files is a pain now and 1TB+ will take a few days to fully backup.
