Having trouble installing a piece of hardware? Want to know if that peripheral is compatible with Linux?

no, it's a rather new disk and all I ever did was make this one partition.

Okay what I now did is backup the data and repartition the disk in Linux (one big 2.7gb NTFS gpt partition using GParted). I used the align MiB method so my physical sectors are aligned with logical.

Then I went on to copy the data back which at some point (1TB+) became slow and I stopped. At times I have trouble mounting the disk at all or it's slow to mount.

I then tried booting into Windows (7) and it stuck at loading (safe mode too). The drive has been purely data, there is no possibility that Windows wants to run some now missing programs off it or anything. I assume disconnecting the drive would boot fine.

All health and file system checks come out ok (which doesnt have to mean anything really from my experience).

The benchmark seems to be tanking at some point: https://imgur.com/HsLi8v2.png
heres another with write where the same happens: https://imgur.com/fNmYGox.png

Any advice? Should I use another file system (needs to be compatible with windows)? Or can I kiss the disk good bye?

Code:
 
Disk /dev/sdc: 2,73 TiB, 3000592982016 bytes, 5860533168 sectors
Disk model: ST3000DM007-1WY1
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: E52764A3-711A-4990-A089-DF87A0284050

Device     Start        End    Sectors  Size Type
/dev/sdc1   2048 5860532223 5860530176  2,7T Microsoft basic data
I wonder why the "Type" still says "Microsoft basic data" ?

All of my spinning drives have physical/logical sizes of 512/4096 byte sectors. My SSD has 512/512 physical/logical sectors.

I don't think that is an issue unless you are actually running the OS as 32 bit.

The question was asked earlier if by chance you had hibernated windows instead of doing a clean shutdown. It is a fact that doing so often leaves the ntfs file system in a state that it cannot be accessed by linux. The ntfs file system is essentially "locked" until restarting the windows machine unlocks it.
