Hello guys,
I need your help. My secondary hard drive, a Seagate 1TB hard drive, is running very slow. My games and other files are on that hard drive. Sometimes or often whenever I access the hard drive, open a folder, a file, delete files, copy or move files to that hard drive or play a game, I can hear how it's booting up and down. It also happens, if I open, move or copy small files. The whole loading process is really slow. If I'm really unlucky and downloading something and move the files to to my secondary hard drive, it may suddenly crash, freeze, stop the whole process and the hard drive disappears completly from the device manager and in "computer" meaning I can't access the hard drive anymore. So I have to restart my pc and redo the process. This doesn't always happen. If there is some kind of a loading process, the whole pc may freeze for a short time. Whenever I play a game, that is stored on that hard drive, I hear again how the hard drive boots up and down. The hard drive needs like 5 minutes to start the actual game, because it loads. The games will also randomly freeze only to load again. These aren't games like GTA V or Tomb Raider or Witcher 3. I play mainly small games, which need less power and are like 1 - 12GB large.
My computer specs:
Mainboard: Asrock 970 Extreme 3
CPU: AMD 8350 Athlon FX (I know it's hot)
Graphics card: AMD Raedon TM R9200 2GB
8GB RAM DDR3 1333 (I think)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Hardrive where Windows 7 is: Samsung 230GB (I can't tell if it is a SATA II or III hard drive)
HDD: Seagate Baracuda 1TB
I checked the cables, removed the dust and connected it to another port. Nothing happened. Then I did some setups, so the hard drive is the whole time active and doesn't shut down. No results either. The only thing I noticed is that the cable is a SATA II cable, but this doesn't mean anything, because they are compatible with SATA III hard drives. The cable may be damaged, so I ordered a new SATA III cable to test it later.
Any ideas? Any thoughts? And how long is the warranty of the Seagate Baracuda hard drive? I bought it last year.
