Taking Forever to Move/Delete Files - 2

Defo sounds like a failing disk like fp4 said. Maybe take this as an opportunity to upgrade to an SSD if you can?

If not then save up, SSD is the best performance upgrade anyone without an SSD can make for daily computing along with loading stuff (your hard drive does that more often than you think).

SSD's are great. I recommend them if you're planning on switching out HDs.

O well time to get some cash somehow. Maybe I will get a job on a Graal server and sell some staff positions. Thanks for all the advice

Running my OS on a SSD currently. It has been a truly fantastic upgrade, but I can tell you that if you do get one, try to keep it totally clean except maybe for program installations. (And store everything else on high-capacity, high rpm analog drives since the space you pay for is dirt cheap.) Like most drives, even solid states don't deal well with being full. :p

And like others have said, if it has gone on this long you should probably invest in a new one soon and maybe migrate your files there before the drive dies. If it has trouble with reading and writing, that's definitely not a good sign.
