So ... I had weird stutters on my PC yesterday, restarted and then realized my D: drive was gone, first troubleshoot steps : check the SATA connection and cable. So I switched the HDD to a new port on the motherboard and *wham* the HDD is back, so I thought one of my SATA port just died and left it at that.

 

Same problem this morning (weird stuttering) ... hum ... Checks Task manager, my D: drive "active time" is @100% and read/write speeds are just a few 100's KB/s !?!?!?!?!

 

*starts to worry about the HDD health* (my page file is on that drive, so if the drive is going bad, that would explain the stutters).

 

 

Went and opened CrystalDisk ... and YEAH, I need a new HDD xD

Thankfully I have a NAS and do regular backups, I might have to re-download a few games (my game library is on that drive) but I should be fine, just need a new HDD and I'll just throw this one out.

    @Being Delirious it's a 1TB Seagate HDD, got it used, almost 2 years ago, for $20, so I didn't really trust it and only had my Steam library on it. So nothing lost really, plus I have setup regular backups to my NAS anyway, so even if I did used it for important stuff it wouldn't be that bad.
