I have a hitachi deskstar 250gb hard drive thats about 10 years old and has been making weird noises for a while now, sounding like an awful extremely loud scraping and clicking, i listened to my friends pc with a wd blue drive thats fairly new and it sounded silent compared to my drive. I recently started playing some games on my computer and noticed whenever and part of a level loaded, my fps went from 40-50 down to 10-20 and stayed for a while. I thought it was my hard drive, so i did some tests and discovered i was getting about 20mb/s read and write speed, which seems terrible. I ordered a kingston v300 ssd and was wondering if these fps drops would still occur, and if it would fix crashes i often get. And yes i backed everything up cause i know the drives gonna fail.
