Hey guys, I'm from Lima, Peru and I'm new here in the forum! I'm happy to join this place. I want to ask you guys about something that's happening to my PC.
First of all my pc specs are:
Intel Core i5 9400F
Asus B360M-A
16GB DDR4
Samsung SSD 840Evo 250GB (C Unit)
Seagate Barracuda HDD 1TB (6 years old, Sata 2 I believe) (D Unit)
Asus RX470
Seasonic Focus 650W gold
I have Windows 10 installed, and I noticed a thing..., whenever I try to open any program or app, for example Spotify, Netflix, and the browser (Firefox in my case) I hear the typical loading noise from the HDD (trac tac tac tac... ) and I saw in task manager that my HDD usage is a bit high, sometimes it can reach up to 70 or 80%, and then falls to 30-40%, of course if I do nothing HDD usage falls to 5% or even less (no noise of course). It's like Windows is installed in the HDD, but of course is not.
It's strange because my SSD usage is always low, always below 10% usage.

One thing to note is that I have the "Users" Folder in my HDD, that's the way the tech guy installed Windows and he told me it was better because if something happened to the SSD my profile would be backed up.
What do you think could be problem? Maybe that "Users" Folder in my HDD instead of being in SSD as typical? or that has nothing to do with it?
P.S. Sure I'm planning to buy another HDD (2TB maybe) or a new SSD (keeping my Samsung Evo for the S.O.)
Finally, sorry if I made some mistakes, english is not my first language but I'm trying my best
Thanks in advance.
