Is my HDD dead?

Today I turned on my PC and found it doing a diskcheck before loading windows, on my "Stuff" Drive. I went to play a game that is installed onto this drive (my OS C: drive is a 250GB SSD so running out of room on it) and it took a good 10 minutes to load up and when it did load up, the audio in the main menu was lagging loads.

I fired up HD Tune and it says:

HDTune_Health_ST500DM002-1BC142.png


I did a benchmark and it took about 10 minutes to get to 10%, with a minimun read speed of 0.1mbps (which I guess is the lowest it can go).

I did a full health check and it crashed HD Tune.

When I try to open a folder in explorer in this drive, it takes about a minute, with the green bar in the address bar going from left to right slowly.

So is my HDD Dead?
 
Well it said health status is OK, you said you got 250GB SSD? But HD Tune showed health status of 500GB Seagate HDD model ST500DM002-1BD142? :confused:

It seemed you showed us the wrong drive health status.
 
Try it in a different SATA port with a different cable.
Test it using SeaTools for windows.
Wait for it to fail, return it, sell the replacement and buy a WD :)
