Windows will display the usage of all connected drives. 

 

do you mean like its real time right speeds or its % of capacity used? For real time usage, task manager in the performance tab will show it, and for capacity, opening up your file explorer will show all your drives and their capacities.

nvm, i see it now, but it's a little weird for me idk if the 100% problem is when you open some game or web browser or just 100% of the time, because it went to 100% but just like for 2 seconds when it was loading steam.

That is exactly how its supposed to be. Wouldn't you want your drive to be opening a program as fast as it possible could? When you open a program, or launch a game, your drive maxes out while it loads it as fast as it can.

Ok, but long story short my pc is freezing i have a hdd and i thinked a ssd was going to solve my problems... because in the hdd i had 100% disk usage so i buyed a ssd and surprise... There are the same freezes and crashing/restarting in my pc i'm going to probably disconnect my hard drive and let just a game for testing if i play for a day and i don't get a crash i will can say i already found the problem.

Whats the speed of the SSD? With an HDD it may happen if its super bogged down, but even with a SATA SSD you should never freeze. It could be a different issue. Windows is installed on the SSD right? And if say a game was installed on the harddrive, it will still load slowly.

It's a Kingston SA400 480gb, i have OS and Warframe there, but i use steam and GPU Tweak from Asus and those programs are on the hard drive.

Probably you are thinking why you want to dc the hard drive, well because i saw a post where 2 persons solved with that way, both got a bad sector (damaged in the hdd) and disconnected it just leaving the ssd and they said there was no more freezes or crashes.
