Hard drive slow down suddenly

0

My hard drive has become very very slow and I don't know why. You can see the performance here:

sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffered disk reads: read(2097152) returned 28672 bytes

How can I diagnostic my Hard Drive and fix it?

I don't lose any data. The Hard Drive is just became super slow and I don't know why ;(

EDIT:

You can also see the output of this command:

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda

Here:
