One of my hard drives is constantly at 100%

[another random person]

One of my hard drives is constantly running at 100% I've followed all the internet tutorials on how to fix the issue but I haven't yet reached a solution. Even the read/write speeds are 1% of what they used to be, I think it may be a dying drive so I'm attempting to move everything out of it but the read speeds are excruciatingly slow. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

Hi 

Try installing Crystal Disk info and send an ss of it

I want to see an ss from Resource monitor too ( you can open it from the task manager or just search for it )

Look , not only this drive but your other drives have problems that you should pay attention too.

For this drive , you have 192 bad sectors !!!! That's really bad,

You can remap these sectors but this is a really bad thing to see and tells u that your files might get corrupted or your HD might become unusable soon .

Again i don't know what's wrong with other drives but this one has some problems ...

Is there any possible way to fix the bad sectors?

A bad sector is bad sector

The drive keeps trying to read what's in there and then , relocates it to a good sector but what if it can't read what is in there ? 

Then those sectors will be marked as pending sectors . So if you DON'T need what's there , you can tell the HDD that you don't even care what's there and it can stop trying to read that sector and relocate it somewhere else . BUT how ? You can perform a full format ( not a quick one ) and them hard drive will realise that it can remap that sector to somewhere else but since you need your info and can't perform a format , You can use softwares as Western Digital Data Lifeguard  

You can also take a look at this link:
