Hard Drive w/ 4 bad sectors and terribly slow

[Janeyadonnah]

First of all, yes I have used this tool and it has changed nothing.

 

The problem is as follows:

When trying to open any folder on the drive it takes about a second or two.

But when trying to open a game via steam it fails to do so completely.

Any other programms, like a diagnose tool, mostly hang up or crash when trying to access drive

Also the command chkdsk estimates 999h when trying to use

I also tried using a different SATA port, no difference at all

 

After doing an Error Scan this comes up:

Just a few days ago, the screen showed me this:

(Let me know if you need SMART values, but there was nothing critical, as far as I am concerned)

 

 Is there any way of fixing this issue, or should I start saving up for a 1tb ssd?

 

RIG INFORMATION:

- Windows 10 64-bit

- the affected drive is a 1tb SSHD by seagate (you can also see the model in the screenshots)

- other drives: 200gb 850 evo, 2 tb seagate hdd (behaving completely normal)

- X99-A USB3.1 rocking an i7 5820k @4,00Ghz, cooled by a Noctua NH-D14 and 16 Gb of HyperX fury

- gtx 980 and an evga 850 g2 psu

You have a bad hdd(if that wasn't clear).

 

Id get a new one(or space for all your data, copy off all the data with ddrescue, the rma it/throw it away.

Yeah you can't really fix that. Back up your data now and definitely buy a new drive. It's only a matter of time before the drive fails completely and you lose all your data.

hmm that will probably take a few days to back up those 557GB with that slowness ^^

Guess I'll order a new ssd now

Copy all the data you care about on another drive, then download WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostics (yes, it will work with Seagate drives just fine), right click on the drive and select Run Diagnostics , then select "write zeroes" which will erase the drive completely and force the drive to rescan the sectors to determine if they're bad or not, or relocate sectors already marked bad.

When it's done, reboot your computer.

Install crystal crystaldiscinfo too. This will give you  a smart view of your drive. Having bad sectors like you ist mostly when you backup space for bad sectors is full/empty. So as an example. Every hdd has 100 sectors which the hdd can switch against defect. Is the hdd don't do this like in your case it's most to late for backup data so press both thumbs hard that you get a copy of you data before you hdd crash permanently. If I was you I would take it off the system until you have no new so you save a bit of time.

 

Christaldiskinfo will show you if you have healthy backup sectors left.
