Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

What is the defrag status of the drive?
I'd also be suspicious of a poor drive data cable connection. Similar symptoms of lots of error correction being attempted.
Have you recently had any handling "incidents" with the connectors/cables?
Try another motherboard connector?

I had a 9-month old LG DVD burner that had a seeking problem, due to a documented heating-related mechanical defect that eventually appeared with long-term usage.
They promptly replaced it with a more advanced faster model. That was 3 years ago, in March. The drive is still running fine with...
