Hi, I've a 10+ year old Seagate harddrive that is seeing more bad sectors recently. I'm transferring the data out now. There was a post asking about what to do with failed drives , what about failing drives?

This is what I've thought of for my Windows OS..

cache drive for softwares
Windows paging file location
temporary folder for torrent downloads
mirroring important folders as an additional backup
