Would slower than normal boot times and loading times of some software be a symptom of a dying harddrive?
Also, I've noticed things like time it takes for certain resources to load into games and some stuttering.
I've had a SSD for about 6 years (agility 3), and some shit regular 7200rpm harddrive for probably around the same amount of time.
Even firefox opens slowly occasionally.
I almost definitely don't have any sort of malware because I recently formatted both and re-installed my OS on the SSD.
>Having an ssd for 6 years
You should probably check how much of that ssd is actually alive.

If you wouldn't mind spoon feeding me real quick, is there recommended software for that or anything?

I use AIDA64, check the SMART data on your SSD using that or some other software that can display SMART data
So I downloaded crystal disk info ultimate and was surprisingly greeted with anime telling me my ssd is fine, but my hdd is fucked, I guess?
I don't really know much of anything about hdd's and they've always just werked as far as I've been concerned. Could anyone tell me what any of this means, or if it just means that I need to get a new one?
I know the image quality is balls, I saved it as a gif for some stupid reason.

Holy shit that's a lot of reads/writes,
And yeah, it's dying. Anything you want that's on there, get it off NOW.

Here's the SSD doc, I'm assuming this is okay to keep as just my OS drive?
Or is it fucked too?

When you reach cautionary levels on Sector Counts, the drive is not long for this world. I recently had 3 HDD's all die approximately the same time, which made sense because they are all on approximately the same time.
Legit, save stuff off of it now to save some real stress.

You've only written 16TB of data; even a baseline SSD should be able to handle >100TB of writes.

That's perfectly fine.
