[SOLVED] SSD at 100% load

[Aubryn]

Hello all,

I've recently run into problems with my hard drive processing at 100% for unexplained reasons.

It happens at any given time, I could be playing a game or simply browsing the web.

I recently disabled the windows search service because I heard that could help but that doesn't seem to work.

How full is the drive?

I have 778 GB free

This is your HDD, not the SSD?
Please edit the title. Thanks.

No it's an SSD, sorry about that.

No it's an SSD, sorry about that.

From the model number in your pic, its a Seagate Firecuda, hybrid drive.

SSHD, neither SSD nor HDD.

Go to the processes tab and sort by disk usage, highest to lowest. Should show you what's using your drive.

Disk usage is at 50% 0.3MB/s under the processes tab but under performance i'm getting 100% disk on my D drive, its showing 0 KB/S read and write speed. I'm still not sure what causes this.
