Run CrystalMark Disk Info and post it's screenshot. Also run Seagate sea tools' short and long test.

Backup the data then run it.

Its a scene of death

there is nothing left for that HDD to give him.. So its his right and duty to give the HDD a much deserving farewell

^^ lol yeah. @OP hdd served you well. give it grand farewell and get the new one
