I don't get what this is supposed to mean but I have a feeling that it's not good. Anyone explain?

What part of the screen are you referring to?

Hand, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody’s pocket.

The bottom. Read error rate and below. The values. Are they bad? Should my hdd be replaced

No. Look at the RAW-column: it says 0 for read-error rates, reallocated sectors and spin retries -- there's nothing wrong.

That's because it's an HDD and not an SSD.

Having an OS running on an HDD is a horrible experience nowadays.

What are the rest of your system specs?

You've literally never heard of anyone telling you that HDDs are slow? Well, HDDs are slow. That's just how they are. Chrome, Visual Studio etc. are all handle lots of small files and HDDs are especially bad with small files.

I don't have any specific recommendations. Quite literally any SSD is going to be a big upgrade over an HDD. Just buy something.

Yes, but some SSDs are better than others, especially DRAM-less SSDs compared to ones with DRAM (or at least those newer ones that can use system RAM instead of onboard RAM)

@Mr.Hdd check out this list:

Just don't get the bottom tier, anything other than that is fine.

Of course there are better and worse ones, that's pointless to say. That applies to quite literally everything. The point stands: even DRAM-less drives are better than HDDs.

Yes of course, it's like telling someone with a bike to buy a car. Any car will be leagues better than the bike (assuming we're talking about something like a long commute), but they should still consider what type of car to buy.

If there's an SSD with a DRAM cache for $5 more, it's worth spending the extra, so he should know that.

That HDD is just a storage drive right? Not a boot drive? Because a HDD would be holding back pretty much any platform released in the past decade. And probably a few years further than that.

Yeah get an SSD real quick, it'll solve all your problems.

Anything tier D or above should be great

It's a given that you need to get a SSD, that's understood.  The next question is how big of a SSD.  Considering the size of your HHD, I would start with at least a 1Tb SSD.  And if your mobo supports it, a 1Tb Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2/NVME drive.
