I have an hdd based Acer Aspire 5 A515-52K-32Z2. It's performance degraded from last year got stuck for about 20-30 seconds and it's very irritating if frequently occur. So, I was planning to buy Western Digital WD Blue SA510 SATA 500GB 2.5" SSD and replace HDD with it. So my question is if the HDD is confirmed as corrupted then can I use it as external storage if it is not possible to fix the corruption of the disk?
