I have a 4TB HDD that I use to store music, films, images, and text files. I have a 250GB SDD that I use to install my OS and video games. So far I didn’t have any problem with this setup, obviously it’s a bit slower when it reads the HDD but nothing too serious, but lately it’s gotten way worse, where it just lags too much when I try to access files on that disk, and specially when it comes to listening to music, it’s super annoying. I’m using Elisa music player and it just takes ages to load the albums.

Below is my system and HDD information. I think I’m supposed to use hardlinks or something to access those files, could that be a reason? I’ve never even fully filled my HDD and it’s only 3 years old.

    I used journalctl -k -f and this is the output, I’ve also tried dmesg and smartctl and replied with the output on other comments, and all show some kind of I/O error, I guess I’m fucked or can it be because of a bad cable or something?
