Not sure if HDD is failing (100% Disk Usage and corrupt files)

I have a Toshiba hard drive that has been spiking up to 100% disk usage. I have reinstalled multiple times, and it works really well for the first month after reformatting and installing. When I run virtual machines, they will crawl and the disk usage will spike up to 100%. I also noticed that a freshly downloaded image of Windows 7 has been corrupted because when I installed it on my virtual machine Windows explorer would stop working randomly. I tried disabling superfetch and that would work for a short while before it would start crawling again (and this time worse).

I have run SFC /scannow and it will say it has found integrity violations but is unable to repair them. Running chkdsk /r will hang for a while but eventually completes and it will make everything smooth for a short time.

Do you guys agree it is a hard drive problem? It hasn't BSOD and the Smart Tools says it's fine. I am not sure what is going on with this build, I have had problems for a while. These are fairly new parts, new mobo, RAM, psu, and processor.

This is the smart report according to Defraggler. It looks fine to me, but I think Defraggler might not be so reliable. I wish I still had my Linux smart tools live CD.
