Secondary drive activity when using system drive.

[bhapgood]

Hi, this is an odd one i think.

I have a 128 gb SSD as my windows 10 system drive in an HP AIO system and a secondary 2tb storage drive. Which has not got any programs installed on it other than some adobe software.

Now my problem is that the secondary drive seems to be being accessed way too much. Whenever I do anything, open a program, load a website on chrome, open word etc. I can hear the secondary hard drive cranking away and I can see the drive peaking in task manager.

Any ideas why the system is causing the secondary drive to kick into gear? This is a reasonably recent occurrence and is slowing down the whole pc.

Thanks

Not sure what's happening but what I would do is disconnect the 2 TB drive from the MB...restart....go into BIOS.....make sure everything looks good.....reboot.....make sure system operates.....shut down....connect 2TB drive.....boot to BIOS....make sure everything looks good and go to Windows and see what happens.
