HDDs depend mostly on chance. Some failed quickly while others lasted years. Your options are: A) Inspect the disk for problems. B) Leave the device running. C) Try both.

I'm discussing performance, my TOSHIBA P300 typically runs around 120MB/s. Your Kingston A400 begins at 220MB/s but then drops to about 100MB/s and remains there.

All my hard drives lasted at least eight years. The main factor is the quality of the drive, not just chance. Buying the cheapest option often means a lower-quality product.

I executed the chkdsk command and noticed a noticeable improvement in performance. It seems the previous actions might have slowed things down. I'll keep tracking the changes. Thanks!

The main issue is that for most OS drives, sequential speeds don't matter much; you spend far more time on random accesses, where HDDs perform poorly.

Sorry but even an inexpensive SSD will work much faster than a traditional hard drive for Windows 10. 1. Consider turning off Windows Update and BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer). 2. Install Adwcleaner and scan for adware. https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownl...dwcleaner/ 3. Use CrystalDiskInfo or HDDTune to assess your hard drive condition. https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/ 4. Press Start, type Defrag, and run the utility to see how fragmented your drive is. Yes, because this drive lacks DRAM cache, so speed drops over time, but random access performance can exceed a standard HDD by more than ten times if it isn’t a failing drive.

It would be better if every fix for my PC didn’t require more spending. I tried defragmenting first, but it didn’t improve performance. I also turned off Windows updates a while back, and that didn’t help either. Running chkdsk didn’t reveal any issues. I’ve stopped running unnecessary services as suggested in guides, even going so far as to remove unused software with scripts. Still nothing resolved the problem. Whenever I move my mouse to click something—like opening New Edge—the CPU and disk usage spike to 100%, causing the computer to beep and the mouse to lag significantly until it calms down. Do you think this might be a sign of something going wrong? I’ve seen that removing the GPU driver helped, but no matter which driver I use, it still runs poorly.
