HDD Dying?

Hello Linus' community!

I'm troubled by a problem which i presume is caused by my Hard drive (931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 (SATA)). Now to be honest I am very new to the entire computer hardware thingymajiggy (Built my first pc with 0 knowledge a few months ago just via Linus' tutorials.) so i am sorry if i say something very stupid.

 Anyways, to make it short, my Hard drive write speed went to very low speeds in a matter of a few days, averaging at about 40-50kbps (and often at 0kbps) although my Disk Usage is at 100%. I am not finding a single fix or cause for this so maybe you could help me :)?

According to the smart reading, no, you're disk is not dying...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

check to see if indexing is turned on. Find out what service is using so much disk.

Indeed, the HDD's SMART stats are pristine. I doubt the drive is failing. The drive also shouldn't really be at 100% very often either.

 

I suspect that Windows is doing something it shouldn't. You want to go into the Resource Monitor, and find out which exact program/task/service is using all that disk IO.
