Nods, definitely not an exciting thing to see. Good to see a bit more info about it and know that slow file access does indeed show a hard drive is close to end of life.

Well, that sounds scary. So you can run a chkdsk repair to fix it, but then it could come back at any time, or might not come back at all.

That is quite interesting. Usually you would think a cheaper, lower rated product would probably perform worse. Of course it all depends on write limits and whatnot, but usually that is why things end up costing more of a premium.

That is indeed good to hear, the main drive dying is always a stressful thing. I definitely don't enjoy the process of setting up Windows. One big reason why I tend to stick on one particular drive, I will stay on it as long as I can just because swapping is such a strenuous task. Sure, you get the files, but most programs need to be installed and registered in Windows, so that essentially means redoing everything.
