I have a hd that haven't been formatted for years and it has so much errors on it that everytime I try to access it would freeze my computer.
So I would change Lan cable, change ram, update Networking drivers and changing back and forth.
Was basically pulling my hairs out as I was puzzled for awhile until it was backed up using some other file viewer other then explorer like nero, was able to backup everything then wipe the HD clean as dust.
Works great ever since, so if you have computer lagging so bad this is the culprit.
I recommend formatting at least once a month
