so today i booted up my computer and noticed that one of my hard drives is being really slow and has a really high response time (goes over 1200ms at times). At this current time its struggling to even go over 1MB/s.
i've checked for viruses, updated drivers and only recently did a complete reinstall, so i have no clue if the drive is suddenly deciding to die or what.

i've also used crystal disk info which says the drive is fine so that just makes it even more confusing for me????

Any help would be appreciated :)

It sounds like it is dying.

If you have access to another PC you could put it in there and see if it has the same issues, but either way I'd be copying any important data off it ASAP. If it's your OS drive then make a backup image.
