The HDD is causing my entire laptop to become unresponsive.

I understand. Thank you for your time. I won't share a hard drive again. I'll wait until I leave to handle it. Perhaps I could save it by accident.
Ensure backups are always available to safeguard your data. While warranty can replace your device, recovering data isn't straightforward. Rely on multiple sources, but at least keep one reliable. I follow the 1-2-3 method, and sometimes add a fourth step because my computer is essential for work. A bit of OCD helps too.
My available resources are restricted onboard, which suits my preference for minimal luggage. Still, I recognize your point. Having a secondary HDD at home is essential moving forward.
