Hello guys,
I will try and keep this as short and as compact as possible, but hard without trying to give you as a detailed picture as possible...
I am well known to computers, when it comes to building one, taking it apart and re-building it again. Then how to install drives, install OS etc etc...
But this, I am COMPLETELY out of my hands on...
All monitoring of this topic is done by the Task Manager, under the "Performance" tab... I am also running Windows 8.1 for information.
For some odd reason, whenever my PC has been turned on for a longer period of time, let's say 9 - 24H, one of my HDDs, that I only use as an recording drive, which basically means it's not being used, at all. Is going at 100% at times.
Even when I put my PC to sleep mode (as I have a bit of an issue when it comes to tabs in Chrome) and then waking it up the next day... it might be going at 100% again. Without me not doing anything to the HDD itself, like transferring files or anything like that. It just goes at 100% for no reason.
As far as my knowledge goes... having tabs like I do, doesn't effect that HDD at all.
It is the RAM that does that job. And my SSD, with the OS on, should be the ONLY harddrive that is actually doing any actual work.
All other drives should be at 0% workload, as they aren't doing anything... yet it does.
It does actually sometimes go down from 100%, but it bounces around on the workload, again... without any workload done by me.
Do you know what can cause this etc?... might it be dying?...
It's an Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB.
Thank you for any help in this matter, I really appreciate it!
Best regards,
Chrazey
