The picture is frozen, the HDD is overloaded

Hi,
When viewing a video from the shared Windows folders after a while, the picture on the screen is frozen, the HDD is overloaded.
SMART is in order, OS reinstalled - no improvement has been added.
Does the box dies or maybe there are still solutions?

Yesterday everything became clear. UltraDMA CRC-error appeared in SMART.
Ordered a new HDD today. Issue closed.

After I bought a new disk, the same SMART error appeared after a while.
This turned out to be a Windows 11 issue after the last update, not a disk.
I replaced the default Windows 11 Microsoft driver with a Intel SATA driver. And it’s been working for over a year.

I hope this can help someone.
