i dont know what im looking at :'( why am i geting thes errors :(
 
Where did you get them?

Just thinking as one states run time of 12000 hours. The other 2000.

Either that or software playing up. Some of those current worst values don't add up. Such as current airflow 73c, worst 43c.

I can't see anything wrong with the SMART data, but I'm no expert. But if you're experiencing read issues, I'd very strongly recommend backing up the data from those drives, starting with the most important files first.
 
The second shot doesn't show a drive letter assigned, you could start with that one in drive management.

There doesn't seem to be any pending sectors or uncorrectable errors in those scheen shots, just awful wallpaper. What's giving you grief? Any error messages?

It shows the older disk is getting very hot at times (in CrystalDiskInfo "43" means 100 - 43 = 57C). With airflow temperature, the nearer to 100 the value, the better. On idle, temps on both drives are fine. Of course the readings may still be wrong. Just wonder if that older disk is caked in dust or dust has gotten into it.

A pic of the info in Disk Management, showing all the below, would be nice:

Both drives are showing large numbers of crc errors - the D drive has a count of over 54000... This indicates a problem between the disk and the controller, which doesn't mean the disks themselves have a problem - it could be cables (most likely) or the controller.
It would be worth reseating the sata cables, or replacing the cables if you have spares - if attribute C7 count keeps increasing then it's not fixed!

Thanks for taking the pic Josh. Trouble is the window is not maximized so can only see the info for two of the disks. But from what can be seen, the Page File seems to be on the wrong disk (on Disk 1 D: instead of Disk 0 C:). Systems can usually happily function with the Page File on a disk that isn't the C: but it should be on the SSD really, unless you consciously moved it for some reason.

The other thing is that Disk 2 E: is RAW not NTFS which means it's corrupted/on its way out, unless there's another explanation.
 
yesterday I was having a look at my sata cables, I saw that one has a small nip in the wire so it might have been shorting out and slowing down the drive and maybe slowing the controller. so I have order new sata cables. I let you know how it gose
