Harddisk problem, help please?

February 3rd, 2017, 2:21

sorry if i post in wrong section, im still new here :)
so my laptop runs very slow, tried reinstall the windows (clean install, cleaning hd partitions and formatting all of them) but it's still feels laggy, so i tried to use crystaldiskinfo to check my hard disk, but im not a hard disk expert, so i wanna ask some advice about it.
did my slow laptop performance is caused by my hard disk?
i attached a screenshot about my hard disk, any help is appreciated, Thanks! :)

Wipe the drive and put it on eBay for "parts or repair" and put the money towards a new one!

This tells me that the drive is most likely suffering from the"slow issue".

There is no way to "fix" the drive for re-use. One can "patch" it for DATA RECOVERY but the drive MUST be replaced by a new one.

You formated/re-installed so i guess data is not necessary.

There are procedures like ARCO and SELF-SCAN that you can run with specialized firmware tools like WDMarvel and SeDiv (cheaper ones) but even so it will only "retrieve" some extra life out of the drive that will die eventually very shortly....

Again, just replace the HDD and move on...


Thanks for the help! so it's the harddisk that caused my laptop to runs laggy, i can afford to buy the new hdd but not the laptop xD

Well, thanks again, i really appreciate your help!
