I currently have a WD Blue 1TB 6gb SATA hard drive, https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Cache-Desktop-Drive-WD10EZEX/dp/B0088PUEPK?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAIKUO4IQHYSY3DRHQ&tag=thatvgblog-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B0088PUEPK
I have had this hard drive for about a year and this is not the first time it has given me issues regarding game load times for example. So the main issue is that before it used to load a level in a game in about a minute and a half, but now it takes 15 minutes to load. There is also some infrequent choppiness during gameplay when I have games installed on the HDD compared to my ssd. It takes even longer just to start up a game and eventually I had to switch out the sata cable and switch to a different sata port which didn’t fix the issue.
This is such a huge degradation in performance and I have no idea why. The hard drive essentially makes a number of games unplayable due to how long it takes to load or “lag” ingame. I only use this HDD to store pc games and currently has 550gb free and according to HD tune, nothing seems wrong with it. I have also defraged it but doesn’t fix the issue. Temperature is also 29 Celsius if that makes a difference. Anybody have suggestions on how to fix this issue?
