Hey everyone,

I usually don't like to create extra topics but I don't what what to do.

So today I just woke up turned on my pc and the boot time was longer then usual. I have 2 ssd's and 1 hdd.
The problem is hdd, its become slow after I turned on pc today. I have no idea why, reading speed is only around 1 mb/s . Nothing that is stored in the hdd working well(not opening because its just too slow) But the other things that are restored in SSD's are fine

I have tried to troubleshoot, antivirus some harddrive care programs but since its too slow none of them worked out.
HDD model is : ST3000DM001

Is it because its dying? Is there anyway to save my files?

First supposition - The drive is dying. They do that eventually.

How to "save" your data?

Right now, start copying it off to some other device. Don't try to fix, scan, whatever on this drive.
Attempt to Copy that personal data off to some other device.
Skip anything that can be downloaded again....just find your personal stuff.
