HDD dying?

[Lord_Karango17]

I recently got a warning on crystaldiskinfo recently on my mass storage drive, but I brushed it off, as my 2nd hdd had had a warning for the longest time now and it has been fine. I assumed I had a while before I would start noticing anomalies, however soon after seeing the error, the games stored on the hdd would either crash in startup, or crash while playing.

 

While transferring games that I would rather not re-download, the transfer would seem to get stuck at certain files, the transfer speed would go to 0 bytes/sec, and the hdd would be at 100% in task manager.

 

I just find it odd that this hdd is giving up on me so soon after I got it, because it was out of my old msi gaming laptop, which I removed before selling it, so I have only had it for a little less than 2 years, and it was treated pretty well in that time. It does not even have that many power on hours either, as my samsung 840 (B:) is still going strong even with nearly 7000 hours

 

Is it a done deal? I did a bit of research on the error I'm getting and people say that it might be fixed with a reformat using some program that I can't remember.
