N64 had some good stuff tbh.

 

Best console hands down. But kids these days and people who didn't get into gaming until later will never know the glorious N64.

Well, any opinion about WTF is going on in my Seagate HDD (explained in page 3)?

N64 games (The good ones at least) actually look pretty good because for the most part they don't strive for realism and their artstyle works with the low poly models and low resolution textures of the N64. The only real problem is due to the limited space on the cartridges a lot of games have really tiny draw distances making it seem like everything is in a haze of fog.

Take a look at these:

I'm really horrified right now.

My oldest HDD I'm still using is a Seagate 1.5TB and have been noisy since the beginning (4 years ago). I really liked my older Quantum and Maxtor HDDs though.

Now the transfer rate from my other drives to Seagate drives can drop to 0.5-5 mb/s after several hundreds mb of transferring data (it should be at least 20mb/s).

This situation is started after I got a SSD and installed windows 8.1

 

Is it possible that my motherboard can't maintain 2 HDDs and 1 SSD?

Is it the fault of Win 8.1?

Is it possible that my HDD is dying? If so what should I do with my 1300 GB Data?!

 

Download DiskCheckUp: http://www.passmark....diskcheckup.htm

 

After installing and opening the program, select your Seagate drive and click on the S.M.A.R.T Info tab. It should tell you whether things are okay. Don't bother with all the numbers, just make sure everything has the 'OK' status.

 

After that, click on the Disk Self Test tab and run a short test. See if any errors pop up. 

 

Hypothetically, a motherboard or Windows 8.1 shouldn't affect your HDD performance like that. It's mostly likely that it's dying. Although HDDs shouldn't die after 4 years of usage, it's not that uncommon. Especially if they've seen heavy usage or manual handling while in use. The program above will help determine if that it indeed the case.

 

Another thing is that it could simply be the types of files you're transferring. Everything might be fine with your PC. Just that transferring entire folders filled with subfolders and .txt files or whatever could drastically impact transfer speed.

Thanks. I'll do it.

I also found a Duplicate Cleaner program and I ordered it to scan some folders. Not sure what it is up to.
