I fear the hard drive I run Steam and all my games from is dying. Just shortly ago ATS froze and a bunch of unexpected behaviours began to manifest. All drives but this one are being accessed fine and quickly, Windows is running fine and files stored on the other drives are available normally. Only the content in this drive is acting up. Slow access, freezing, Steam games won't launch or download and Steam itself gave me a error while trying to update a game saying that there was a disk write error. :\

Thankfully all I have there is basically Steam and its games so if the hard drive does die the loss shouldn't be great. There are, however, one particular folder I can't lose in there. It's big (over 77GB so that's why I've been keeping it there) and I will have to figure out where to transfer it to while I can.

it's going to be a big issue if I have to buy a new hard drive. Because if the crisis in my country, prices are currently all the way up through the roof and I don't have the budget for it. ;-;
