Hello everyone,

I have currently 2 SSD's and 2 HDD's installed in my PC.
Everything was working fine, untill randomly both hard drives started loading up steam, video's etc slowly. I have no clue why this happens, my SSDs run on good speed but my HDD's on 5-10mb/s...

1 HDD is a Seagate Barracuda and the other a Western Digital Green harddrive. Both 1TB.

Please help, as I am concidering to simply get 2x 1TB SSD's if this cant be fixed.

Sincerely,

Sander

What has changed since all was well?

If only one drive was affected, it could be an impending drive failure.
But, not both.

Perhaps a software update has changed something.
If this is possible, consider using system restore to reset to a time when all was well.

If you will buy replacements, look to WD.
Seagate has not been that reliable, and the old WD green was a 5400rpm drive which is slow.
Here is a good read on the WD rainbow:
