so apparently my desktop hdd is going bad in the most infuriating way possible: Read speeds are perfectly fine, but write speeds are literally peaking at 600 BYTES PER SECOND. I waited A LITERAL 25 MINUTES (i timed it, 24m51s) to get to the login process. It's performing worse than 320k floppies do.

The disk is 13% full and 0% fragmented. It's negotiating SATA 3.

Time to w&r ig

    Every single piece of hardware you have seems to be failing in this quarantine. Feels bad man.

    Well, that is not the worst way for it to fail. It would be worse if its head crashed on every single read.

    @kescherRant or tore off and stuck to the platter. This is just more infuriating, is all.

    @Jilano Nothing, no cash. Only other thing I have is my backup drive, and it's in use. Hell, that's not even in great shape.

    Needless to say, back it up before it craps out entirely.

    What does SMART say about the drive?

    And is it really a rotating drive? I got rid of all my spinning rust platters a while ago.

    Or actually, I probably still have one or two 2.5" drives somewhere in a drawer, I'm tempted to offer sending you one…

    @SomeNone SMART checks out and it does spin yes.
