Sorry to say it but that's a telltale sign that it's dying. I wouldn't bet on another 100 hours of operation. Back it up as soon as possible and replace it.

Is it almost full? They slow down a ton as they fill up, I try to keep all my HDDs at <75% full.

 

Also, have you defragged and consolidated it?

 

How old is it? 11k hrs isn't nothing but it's also not a ton. As long as it's a decent quality drive it shouldn't be failing unless there's a defect or you are writing constantly to it.

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

Try testing the hard drive using Toshiba's diagnostic software.
