Question 100% disk 1, 0% disk 0?

[Simali]

I have a rather moderate build with a rx580 and an 2600x. Since rebuilding my pc in a new case Ice been having this problem where my disk 1 has been at a constant 100% and my disk 0 has been at 0%. I feel like this might be affecting my computer somehow in terms of performance. Any ideas why this might be or any fixes would be appreciated I'm young and new to making pcs

Have you used Resource Monitor to see what is accessing the drive?
Have you checked the drive's Smart to see if it is having issues?
Have you run Anti-virus scans?

What drives are these please?

As the C: drive is the OS drive, naturally it will be far busier..

I'd be curious to see a sample of task manager when no browsers open, no games running, etc...

With power off completely (removed is safer) you can try swapping SATA data cables between drives, but, I'd also look at CrystalDIskInfo and/or GsmartControl data on both drives to see if any problems noted... (sometimes spinning drives that have suffered partial head crashes must do multiple read attempts during their often limited lifetimes remaining to get to/read the data, which slows down/ties up the whole computer with constant drive activity...

I'd be planning an SSD upgrade anyway if you have a spinning drive as an OS drive....

As others have said, check if any application isn't thrashing your hard drive. Has the computer been freezing and locking up?
