Hi guys, I think I know a good bit about computer components and have built a few for myself but I need help today since I really don't know anything about storage mediums to the point where I can problem solve for myself. I've noticed some slowdowns on my computer recently and had a hunch based on symptoms of a previous hard drive failure that it might be cause by my 2 Tb hard drive. This is my only storage drive and I'm not really in position where I can go out and buy one any time soon so I'm really hoping I'm wrong.
Hard Drive:
ST2000DM001-1CH164
W1E2D53K
I ran Crystal Disk Info first and this is what I got:
I ran Seatools afterwards and both the fast fix and short test went by perfectly fine. The "Long Generic" and long fix both gave an error. The Long Generic error message went like this:
"Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Font 'Arial' does not support style 'Regular'."
This was under details:

The reason I'm not in a position to buy a new one anytime soon is because I am moving and don't have much money and college is also going to start soon. I am actually packing this computer in a box (I am taking the HDD out and putting it in some antistatic wrap and packing it very safely on its own) tomorrow afternoon. I will be unpacking it again in a couple days at a new location. If there is no alternative I guess I can use some of the student loan money to buy a new storage device (it says I can use it to get a computer so I figure that a hard drive is fine) although I don't want to spend any more than I have to. Please help guys. Am I shafted?
Edit 1: I forgot to mention that the SeaTools SMART test said the drive passed.
