Okay,

I'm using Samsung Evo 840 (C:) Seagate Barracuda 2TB HD (D: & F:).

Bought this machine 3 years ago, everything went flawlessly since Yesterday.
So I turned my pc to watch some movie that was stored in F:, when I launched it, it was having buffering so badly.

Today, I turn the computer, it was slow from the start of the windows.
Surfing through C: was absolutely fast as usual, but when I clicked on D & F HDDs, it takes 10sec to load the files in the folder that I clicked.
So I checked with HDTune pro :
Here's the pic of the result.

"Reallocated Sector count 94"
"Current Pending Sector 16"

Is this normal value?
If not, please tell me how to make this fast again.

Thank you,
Regards.

Welcome to the community, Tony!

This seems very unfortunate! :( I'd strongly advise you to backup your data somewhere else ASAP! These SMART attributes indicate that there are TOO MANY bad sectors on the HDD and it looks like it will fail soon! Furthermore, this bad state is likely to corrupt the files you have on the drive. Backup immediately to an external drive or some other storage device, otherwise you might lose your files.

You should also contact the HDD manufacturer's customer support and check its warranty, if it's still covered they might be able to provide you with a replacement product.

Good luck!
