HDD 100% Usage

[BojanM]

-Hi I have been Having this problem whit my hdd.

 

I store some private pictures and trip videos on it and i have Win 10 on it.

Recently i discovered that whenever i boot up PC and go to Task Manager Hdd is constantly at 100% but it reads like 1-10mb/s.

And i dont think its normal because its there until i boot up that needs Writes and Reads and use it for a while.

 

One More thing,found out yesterday that my Hdd Smart has:

8 Curent Pending Sector (Caution)

1 Reallocated Sector Count (Caution).

But when i ran CHDSK with a restart it showed nothing.

 

I also took some screen shots from Task Manager and Argus Monitor.

I would apreciate any help and should i replace my hdd or is this nothing of concern.

 

Thanks.

HDD's dont have eternal life.
Sounds like some sectors has died and the HDD realocating to other sectors to keep files safe.

Nothing to worry about on the HDD side i would think. But then again im NOT and expert.

 

What i would advice is to run a virus scan. Check for running apps you dont need and run defragmenter to see whats up.

 

Because when the disk speed is low but the disk is 100% in use it means its trying to find files spread all over the disk (takes time since mechanical).

Mechanical HDD's are only fast if the files are one after each other. (sequential).

Are you booting from a hdd, its gonna have high usage no matter what you do cause hdds are so slow compared to hdds, and there is more and more disk usage needed by newer oses and programs. Id replace this with a ssd.

 

You should swap that hdd out as it failing.

I frogot to say when i boot up from a HDD  it takes like 30 sec and sometimes when i open something while that 100% is still there the program i am using freezes but i can still use pc and open other stuff
