I recently built my PC about 2 weeks ago. Pretty much right from the start, I've had this 100% disk usage issue where the disk goes straight to 100% off the boot and eventually calms down but then when I try to open an application such as Discord or Spotify, it goes right back up to 100%. This drastically effects the load times as opening up discord can take around 10 minutes sometimes. This also causes tons of stutters on my desktop and one time the hdd seemed to completely crash and it was frozen for 20 seconds. I've followed all the tutorials that say to disable superfetch or disable another thing in windows and none of those have worked. I've also done a clean install of windows and drivers and that hasn't fixed anything. I even got a second drive and the same issues are occurring with it. The only thing I can think of that may be causing it is the data cable as I used the same one for both drives. I guess my question is Could the Data cable be causing this issue? And if not, is there anything else that may be causing this? Thanks so much for any help!! My system specs are:
CPU:ryzen 7 3700x
GPU: Rtx 2060 super
MOBO: Asrock Phantom Gaming 4 x570
Hdd: Seagate barracuda 2TB.
