Yesterday while doing some stuff on the computer I noticed a problem, one of my HDDs seems to be behaving unusual, I noticed it when I tried patching Star Citizen and it isn't moving, I checked task manager and it showed a 100% disk usage on that drive, with abnormally high latencies(reaching 10000ms+)
I tried doing other tasks and they seem to load very slow or didn't load at all, to the point that my System would often lock up, I tried closing the Star Citizen Launcher and after a few minutes everything went back to normal. this happens everytime and it is repeatable.
I could say my HDD is still kinda working fine as I can still view and use the files in it(movies, games) and I could copy files into and out of it with normal read/write speeds(small/big files).. The only exception being the star citizen folder, when I try to copy or cut that one into another drive, the HDD goes nuts again with 100% usage and high latency..
I tried deleting star citizen and reinstalling it, also on the same drive and directory, and the problem still persists
What does this mean? was the star citizen placed on a bad sector of the HDD(and coincedentally, placed it again there upon reinstall?)
Will my HDD die soon? I don't hear any sounds from it and windows and s.m.a.r.t. doesn't detect any problems
EDIT: I completely deleted the whole star citizen folder, I will see if it goes nuts again, tried copying a 3gb file in and out of it again, nothing unusual
