I would like to propose this as a main thread for all questions regarding HDD/SSD problems.
Speaking of which, I have a problem of my own to ask.
I have a WD5001AALS-00L3B2 HDD and in the past I had a fake sector (a sector wrongly marked as bad) that whenever the OS/user tried to access that portion, the HDD would fail, rendering the entire system useless unless a restart was performed.
Now, that sector was corrected. No errors of any kind in HDtune or HDD internal SMART but something is tied to that little experience. Even though there are no errors I get the following benchmark:
I don't think this is normal. And it wasn't like that before that event occured.
Ever since my HDD is very slow in games and other applications.
In starcraft 2 heart of the swarm, it takes me 2 minutes to load a mission. Sometimes longer.
Same thing in Skyrim, 1 minute to enter in Whiterun and 2 or more minutes to switch from outside to inside (city to house, for instance).
I'm so sick of this. I should know better but I can't find the reason.
How to debug something that doesn't give an error?

Thanks for the help. Hope I don't offend anyone/break rules of SB-I by creating these main threads.
