Recently the 2TB storage drive I've got in the bottom of the rig has been under performing. Films start to pixelate about 2 mins in, and then the display just goes grey.

So yesterday I launched a scan using the the windows utility in 'My computer'. I turned it off after 9 hours because it was only about 10% of the way in, and was looking like it was going to take a week to complete.

This isn't ideal for me because my rig goes off at night.

Is there any software I can use that is a bit quicker? Active Smart shows the 'performance and reliability' of the drive as low.

Or is the drive borked?

Thanks.
 
try the manufactures website, they normally have their own software which can check for errors etc on the drive and sometimes fix it
