So I had a 1TB hard drive that I used to use as my main C drive but it was so freaking slow and would usually hit around 100% and I tried a lot of things and nothing worked to stop it from always hitting 100% at like 5mbps (bc of this Fortnite and other games literally would stutter and freeze all the time). So I got an internl pcie 240gb SSD. I put the operating system and my games on it and left a lot of clips and other files on the hard drive. For a while it was very nice no stutters in games everything was fast, but for some reason lately I have been getting so many stutters in game (mainly fortnite) and when I quickly look over at my task manager my Disk E/my old slow hard drive is spiking up to 100% and when I stop lagging after a couple seconds it goes back down to around 0. I have booted to my hard drive to delete my games off of it (to make sure i am not booting off games off of my old hdd) and I have made sure that I am running the games as well as the operating system off of my fast ssd. So I have no idea why my hdd (which is usually sitting around doing nothing) spikes up to 100% and make my game stutter (by the way my ssd obviously is always around 0-5% when im in game). Why is this? and is there any way to temporarily disconnect my Hdd when i am not using it without manually removing it from the computer?
