HDD Drive immensely slow

I produce music on logicprox and one of my HDD hard drives has stored all my samples on it. Whenever I try opening a logic session which uses the samples that are saved on this drive it crashed after trying to load the samples. If I create a new session and load the said samples in this one the same happens.
I also noticed, that when I open this hard drive in the finder it takes up to 2 minutes until it shows it's content. The same goes for Disk Utility: if I open it it takes ages before anything happens and I can select any options.

Any ideas why my hard drive might have gotten so slow all of a sudden?

Thanks for your help!!

If I were you I'd download a drive test utility to test the integrity of the drive. Most manufacturers have their own utilties. But if your's don't or if you don't know the manufacturer? Then I personally have good experiences with Seagate Seatools. Be aware, though, that the bootable version occasionally can see errors that the WIndows version won't. It can be downloaded and run from either a bootable flash or CD/DVD drive.

Thanks for that, I've tried it but can't get it to work. Even though I managed to download the toolkit in the instructions it says 'insert the Seatools CD' as a first step, but obviously I don't have a CD of Seatools

You'll need to download the ISO file first. Then extract to either a Flash or CD/DVD drive.

You can find the Seatools Bootable <HERE>

Or if you want the whole path?
