Constant HDD activity causing freezes

Hey there,

this is my first post here, so I hope I don't violate any rules. I'm currently having an issue with my HDD (or at least I assume my HDD is the cause). A few days ago I updated my Windows to the latest version. After doing so, I noticed my computer freezing every other minute. Up until now I did not have any success in determining the root of the cause. What I noticed though, is that those freezes coincide with activity on my second HDD (WD 3TB) which I only use for storage purposes, since Windows and all my programs are installed on my SSD.

I attached a screenshot here. How do I go about identifying the issue and solving it? I appreciate your advice.

Unfortunately, it is a Western Digital. You can see the exact description in the screenshot.
