my hard drive is starting to make sounds like its working real hard and its not. It also goes alot slower than before, I am thinking it could be due to age but i bought it in early january, any suggestions?

i have over441 gb left so space is not a problem. i have downloaded 800mb/s for hours on end quite frequently in the past im sure that must be the source of wear and tear but its quicker than expected.

If you see any signs of a hard drive being on the verge of crashing, no matter how new it is, it's time to back up any file you don't want to get lost.
