Long and Short Drive Self-Test Failed | Error code - 305

[Sam_A1]

My laptop runs slower sometimes and hangs due to which I am not able to rely on it for any work.

After running the HP Hardware diagnostics I found the following issues :

1. Long Drive Self-Test ( Storage 1: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB ) Failed:
   Details:
   TestVersion = 1.2.0.0 TestId = 50d4829e-e790-45af-a721-c944b7126928 Instance = Storage 1: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB StartTime = 2020-11-11T20:05:57 ExecutionDuration = 00:05:02 Result = ExecutionFailed ErrorCode = 305 FailureId = M36C20-80GA9U-MFPWMF-619A13 ================================================== LongDST failed: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB, S31LJ9BF919314 The previous self-test completed having the read element of the test failed (0x7).
   
   
2.  Short Drive Self-Test ( Storage 1: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB ) Failed
   Details:
   TestVersion = 1.2.0.0 TestId = 53a826d5-9440-4b66-8cab-bf8a44956a7e Instance = Storage 1: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB StartTime = 2020-11-11T20:05:45 ExecutionDuration = 00:00:11 Result = ExecutionFailed ErrorCode = 303 FailureId = M36C20-80GA9U-MFPWMF-60RJ13 ================================================== ShortDST failed: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB, S31LJ9BF919314 The previous self-test completed having the read element of the test failed (0x7).

Is this the reason of slow laptop and hang issues?
The logs shows Result = Execution Failed hence I am not able to determine if the test could not take place or have I found the problem for the issues with my laptop.

What is the fix?

It can continue to operate for a certain time, but it can definitively break down, if it is not already the case!
If possible, save personal data
Try a full reinstall
Be careful even if it works, it may permanently break down, save the data regularly.
This may allow you to use the computer while you find a hard drive!
