I was trying to update a game and noticed it was taking an absurd amount of time. After checking further I realized a 3 TB hard-drive was basically already dead. Thus, the past few hours have been just sorting through files to find any important documents. At the same time, I've been deleting unnecessary ones to keep everything more organized.
The main issue with slow and dying hard-drives, is that they're absurdly slow and unreliable. I've been forced to manually restart my pc multiple times whilst just copying relatively small folders due to everything freezing.
Also, another 1TB SSD is in the process of dying, but not yet at a critical stage.
