Yes, that’s true and a bad or undersized power supply also but in my experience it is much more likely to have a bad disk than to have something else fail
I would check the kernel messages (sudo dmesg) and check for errors on the ata bus. If there are it’s most likely the disk that is failling
I’ve been running slackware as my main os since 94. I was never able to get really used to any other Linux distro and I saw them all. I run it in my home pc, in my work servers, my work notebook. Best distro ever.
I’ve been using Slackware since 1994, saw redhat and Debian being born.
