I'm having some problems with what I suspect is my harddrive.
When doing anything, even the simplest tasks the harddrive instantly goes to 100%, even if the total usage is like 1MB.
The PC frequently hangs and crashes and it takes ages to load up some applications.
I used CrystalDiskMark to check the performance of the harddrive which gave me these results:
I found some other peoples results with CrystalDiskMark on their harddrive:
And from what I can see my harddrive is severely underperforming on some of the categories, but since I'm not a professional I'd like that to be confirmed by someone who actually knows what all this means.
If my harddrive is having issues like I'm suspecting, what could be the cause of this? I have defragmented the harddrive several times (it also does it every week auomatically), I've ran several virus-searches using Avast and Malwarebytes with no results.
I'm thinking the harddrive is faulty, but I don't really know.
Edit:
I also found this quote on a website:
When using CrystalDiskMark it even went above 20000ms.

I also found this quote on a website:
The latency on my harddrive regularly exceeds 50ms.The maximum value of the Avg. Disk sec/Read performance counter should not exceed 50 milliseconds.
When using CrystalDiskMark it even went above 20000ms.
