Windows 10: Windows Explorer 100% Disk usage, can't shutdown properly

Well now that I've reset the thing there's not really any data lol. But really? There's no way to fix it? I'm not super familiar with HDs because I've never had issues with them I guess. The thing's only 6 months old. Do you have any suggestions?

 

Could you please follow my suggestion *Arrow Windows Explorer 100% Disk usage, can't shutdown properly - Windows 10 Forums

 

Will do once I'm done with installing/updates

 

Yes, please follow the instructions from @axe0. It's quite possible the hard drive is bad, or it just had some errors; sometimes certain failed SMART attributes can be resolved by a format and the drive functions like new. But we won't know until you've done the tests he suggests. Thanks.

 

Alright, back with some results, though not all. Some things failed.

SeaTools
SDST failed
Short generic
Long generic failed

Let me know if there's anything I can do to get the failed tests to go.

 

Replacement of the hard drive, it is failing. Backup your data a.s.a.p. if you haven't yet.

A format will not help unfortunately.

Dang. Thanks for the help anyway guys. Do you have any specific suggestions for a replacement?
