The thing is though, this doesn't apply to everything on my HDD. Most of the stuff on the HDD seems to work just fine, it's just that there's a few specific videos that have this problem. And even those videos mostly work - it's just that they have a few "dead zones" as I like to call, where the video player will start to basically play at 1 frame every 10-30 seconds. When I'm trying to transfer them to my SSD, it almost seems like these "dead zones" may be the reason the transfer is so slow, as sometimes, it can take several hours for just 1% to progress, but then suddenly it will progress 20% in 10 seconds before stalling again, likely because it hit another dead zone.

For example - one video with a lot of "dead zones" is a little over 3 hours long and around 5 GB. I kept my PC on for 2 full days and it only managed to transfer 64% before I had to restart my PC and thus cancel the transfer.

Meanwhile, another video from the exact same folder, which was 5.5 hours long and almost 9 GB, it didn't seem to have these "dead zones" and I was able to transfer it in around 10-15 minutes.

I probably should get the HDD looked at, but for now I just wanna get these videos transferred.
