I have a old hard drive that I used for my new budget gaming pc build.
Specs:
Pentium G3220 (In the pic it says Intel Core I3 but thats not for this pc).
HD 7770
4GB GSKILL RAM 1600 Mhz
Corsair CX 430 PSU
MSI h81m-p33
WINDOWS 7 64bit Operating System SP1 (with all the latest updates)
The problem is that when I boot PC it takes around 1 minute to the desktop. Then my hdd starts making loud grinding/churing noise as it loads up services and other startup items (don't worry I only have about two startup items). Then it quiets down however as soon as I click Google Chrome or any other applications it starts making the same loud noise. Then after like 20 second my application startup. However, after that my hdd goes back to normal but starts making noise when I search something on Google or browse the web. Even sometimes it starts making noise when it is idling. I have no viruses or anything else as I cleaned installed it a few days ago (clean format). CPU Usage when idling is about 1% to 2%.
The manufacture date was in 2005 and runs at 7200rpm with 8mb cache (Western Digital).
This loud noise and slow down is happening since 3 years now but since I put my Gaming PC right beside on my desk, I hate it when it gets so loud.
So, I did a test and please look at the results of my hdd.
Should I get a new hdd to get a better performance such as at least making the boot time around 40 seconds and opening applications a bit faster without lags?
Please don't tell me to get SSD since it is not really in my budget and don't want it right now.
