For a little while now, I've had an HDD (specifically, a 1TB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162) that I've been trying to use as additional storage on my PC.
The problem is that it has absolutely ridiculously slow read/write speeds (I'm talking single-digit KB/s sometimes), a near-constant 100% usage (examined through Task Manager), and an absurd response time of anywhere between 200-900ms (also through Task Manager). There are no programs that run off of this drive at any time (everything is installed on C:\, which runs at normal speeds and rarely at 100% usage).
Seagate's diagnostic tool shows no errors. Windows' chkdsk shows no errors. HD Tune's results are here (they basically show that disk health and temps are fine). MalwareBytes and AVG Free both come up with no detections. I've tried switching the SATA port the drive uses, completely reformatting the drive, and checking for updated motherboard drivers, all to no avail. Is there even anything I can do about this at this point?
