I noticed that files are taking longer than usual to load so I decided to install CrystalDiskInfo and upon checking my HDD I found these:

I'm currently backing up any important files as of right now. Thanks in advance!

I'm not an expert or anything, but you could try Defragmenting that drive and see if it fixes any issues regarding load times. However by the looks of it, that drive has some corrupted sectors, and it is recommended that you backup the drive immediately.

Yep, this HDD is going to kick the bucket soon. Better backup all files and get a replacement.
