I keep randomly getting 100% disk usage on a Samsung 840 120gb. It's not tagged to any process, it'll just go to 100% as shown by task manager, and after a bit, it goes back to normal(4-5%). I have a fresh install of Windows 10 64 bit Professional. Any help would be appreciated!

AMD FX 8320
Crucal Ballistix Sport 24gb
Gigabyte R9 280x

Figured out the issue. I was running it in IDE mode, instead of AHCI. Switched it to AHCI in Windows, rebooted into my bois, and updated it to AHCI mode. Been smooth sailing since then.
