Possible HDD Failure

[Shawn221]

(NOTE: I have already backed up the data off of the drive.) I tried out seatools self-test along with hdd sentinel's and both failed due to read errors. In Crystaldiskinfo, I see the read error rate and the seek error rate increasing rapidly as well. Here is the info from Crystaldisk (only the affected drive shown):

Does it make any ticking noises, fire up, or is it just simply dead?

Does it make any ticking noises, fire up, or is it just simply dead?

It is currently working (I can read from it and everything). The only noticeable problem is that the transfer rates are down to about 20mbps read which is obviously not normal.

 

[galactigus]

If the software is telling you it's bad it's time to replace it they are not that much money anyway maybe 50 bucks.

Ya another sign that it's beginning to fail.

Yeah, I have no problem replacing it, just confirming that it is bad.

Ok so do you mean transfering from drive to drive, partion to partion, or general (desktop) transfer rate?

 

[galactigus]

If you don't have an SSD already picking one of those up as well and installing windows to it will give your system a pretty nice boost in performance.

From the affected drive to an SSD. It's the drive's speed.

Lol yeah I have an ssd and 2 hard drives in my build, I just use this hard drive for my steam library and data.

 

[YoungKaos]

Yeah good thing you bought the SSD lol
