X4 640
XFX 7770 Double Dissipation 1GB
4GB ddr3 1600MHz
Antec High Current Gamer 400W
Samsung HD501LJ 500GB HDD

Loading battlefiled from the moment i press on play = 4-7 minutes
My HDD gets a Short DST Error from Seatools and
on HD tune pro i get these :
(05) Reallocated Sectour count:
Current 100
Worst 100
Threshold 10
Data 1
Status warning

(C4) Reallocated event count
Current 100
Worst 100
Threshold 0
Daa 1
Status Warning

ALso my Read is pretty slow i guess
READ:
Minimum 27.8mb/s
Maximum 81.4mb/s
Average 59.2mb/s
Acces tume 15.4ms
Burst rate 151.3mb/s
CPU usage 8.6%

i know 4GB of Ram isnt high but it is for me enough to run BF4 on medium 60fps and high 30 fps

But does my hard drive needs to be replaced ? Does it affect my loading time. and most inportant Does my Hard drive cause the stutter + sound loop in game ?

urgent please ! store closing in 1 hour. i can get a WD Blue 10ezex
An SSD is out of my budget since 60GB isnt enough.
 
Technically, the minimal requirements say 6GB of memory... without that even in consideration, I would only run bare low settings at 1080p. No more.

After having many failing drives, I could say it is likely reaching the end. You will need to defrag it, and clean her up before then, just to make sure you dont have to buy a new one. I suggest Glary's Utilites for this. It does affect loading times, and it does cause the game to freak out.
 


The hard drive has 19500 hours on it. Short DST and bad reallocted sectors google those and i think all of those problems are suggested to replace your HD

what about the WD 10ezex 1TB Blue ?
 


From my experience, WD is the best company for HDD's. They are very reliable. Good purchase. Worth the minor cost of quality over another company like Seagate.
 


i already got the WD10ezex. 1 bad point is it isnt in a blue sticker. just white. also my BF4 takes 2 min to load and im happy with 1min or less :) Booting up on a fresh win 8 cost 30-50 sec isnt that to much ?
