Posted February 13, 2018 I have a secondary drive for my games and the usage is at 0 when I boot my pc. The only thing on the drive is my games. When i open steam the usage goes up tp 100% and none of the game from my library load. I think the HDD just spins up to 100% when i go to access anything from it and nothing on it can be read when it just gets stuck on 100%. Any ideas how to fix this or what the problem may be?

Posted February 13, 2018 Check your drive for errors or failiures. Start with CrystalDiskInfo. If it will allow that at the usage it currently has... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest, I myself never had good experience with Seagate. They always failed after 1-3 years. My WD drives however, serve me for around 5 years.
