I'd disconnect the D drive temporarily and see if that speeds things up.

You could also disconnect the video card and try using onboard video temporarily to see if things loads quicker.

That would isolate the issue a little more.

So that thing is toast?

Possibly. There's a small chance the power cable/SATA cable went bad.

So you could try connecting it with different cables and to a different port on the motherboard. If it's still slow then you could try connecting it through and external USB enclosure to see if you can get data from it that way.

You could also run CDI to check the HD health:

e: Also one million times, thank you. Very doubtful I would have been able to troubleshoot that on my own under good circumstances, but being on tilt after lovely work weeks months I was ready to just say gently caress it, buy everything except a video card, and figure it out some other time. You're the savior of Deep Rock Galactic night to kick-off vacation.

No problem.
