[SOLVED] When I connect my hdd, my ssd becomes very slow.

[magzzy124]

The title is pretty self explanatory.
When I try to access something on my hdd, my ssd usage goes to 100% and it is working at only few kilobytes of speed.
I want to keep using my hdd, so what can I do? If anyone is wondering, my hdd is quite old.

Did you check HDD's health ?

Crystal disk info says "caution".

Show us the CrystalDiskInfo screen.

But generally the only "fix" is "replace".

3 pending sectors. This is not critical.
They can be resolved with Victoria software or MHDD software.

Any video on how to do that?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Launch Victoria software;
In Drive Info section select desired drive;
Switch to Test&Repair section;
Check Remap option and
Run Scan.

That's not going to fix the problem, at best it will circumvent it by hiding bad parts from OS.

So what should I do? My main problem is the slowdown, this is not going to fix it?

Did you finish the scan?
Can you show resulting screenshot from CrystalDisk info?

Pending sectors can be resolved.
If you start getting relocated sectors, then this is completely different case.

Depending on reasons for relocated and/or bad sectors, if they are just bypassed disk may be still usable for long time. Firmware will still retain those errors. If it was just a temporary glitch like for instance loss of power while writing. problem may not be bad but if heads crash or are out of whack damaged sectors may just keep on multiply.
All together that disk is not all reliable any more.

I did the scan as you told me. Crystal disk info still shows the same picture I sent before.
Victoria spilled out some info: LBA 63201248 try REMAP... Error: Access is denied (FAQ #6, https://hdd.by/victoria_faq )
This message popped up 24 times.
Also at the end of the log, it shows this.
