Windows 10: Please Help Me: HD Tune Alternative?

NEW SERIOUS PROBLEM: Is my hard drive dying?

Hey guys, I didn't want to waste forum space so I didn't create a new thread, but I really need help.

I've noticed that whenever my hard drive is under full load it can only reach 50% in Task Manager's column that's titled "Disk" and it can't reach 100%.

Does this mean my hard drive is about to die? *Sad *Sad *Sad

 

Please post the results of the drive tests.
1) surface or error scan
2) health, or SMART
3) benchmark
4) long generic
5) chkdsk /x /f /r

 

I just ran a "Quick scan" using HD Tune 2.55 (free version) and it reported no errors.

I'm trying to run a scan using "SeaTools" now.

Thanks!

EDIT:
I had some issues with SeaTools so I'll try it later.

I'm going to run a scan using Windows 10's inbuilt app called "Error Checking" as specified here in Option 2: Drive Error Checking in Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

EDIT 2:

I just finished running a scan using Window 10's inbuilt app "Error Checking" and it said it completed the scan and didn't find any errors, but during the scan it said it had 2 hours remaining, but then 1 minute later it said that the scan was completed...??? I ran the scan again and it did the same thing...........

What does this mean?

 

SeaTools just finished a "ShortDST" scan and it says "FAIL" in red writing...

I also rebooted my PC to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't as the "Disk" column in Task Manager can only reach 50%.

EDIT:
What should I do now?

EDIT2:
I just checked and ShortDST stands for "Short Drive Self Test"

EDIT3:
SeaTools just finished running a "Short Generic" test and it says "Pass" in green writing.

 

For all tests please post images into the thread.
For HD tune please post images of
1) health scan
2) benchmarks
3) full error scan
For Sea Tools for Windows please post images of
1) SMART
2) short and long generic

 

Okay sure.

I'm running the Long Test in SeaTools now, but it's only at 18%.

I'm not sure what you mean by posting an image of the Short and Long Generic Tests in SeaTools because AFAIK at the end of the test it only displays "PASS" or "FAIL"?

Thanks!

If there are any problems posting images into the thread please use one drive or drop box share links.

 

Okay it's finally completed the "Long Generic Test" and it says the hard drive passed it in green writing!

However, it doesn't display any information other than the text that says "Long Generic PASS" so I'm not sure what information you're looking for?

Thank you!

 

For all tests please post images into the thread so that anyone viewing the thread can verify the test results.

 

Me too, I came across this problem and I am searching for a free app for that purpose.

 

Okay I just completed an error scan test using HD Tune:

I'll post the screenshots you asked for as soon as I can!

Do you have any idea why my hard drive can only reach 50% usage?

Is my hard drive about to die?

Thanks!

 

Try Crystal Disk also. It is what I used in my shop for years.

 

Here are the screenshots of the "Health Scan":
