    100% Disk Usage on Secondary Hard Drive

    I'm not too sure entirely if this is Windows 10 or the hard drive, but recently on one of my secondary drives, the disk usage spikes up to 100% and stays at max for a long time. The capacity of the hard drive is 1TB and I've split it into two partitions.
    I noticed this happens when I use the Dolphin Emulator and access files from the "GAME" partition I made or when I play games on the "GAME" partition. Windows doesn't lag, but the application(s) in question slow down to a standstill without any real reason
    it seems.

    Thank you for your advice and help.

    Seagate Confirms 1TB Hard Disk Drive

    For now 300 terabyte storage devices may sound like science fiction, but again Seagate discovered plans to release 1TB hard disk drive products within 6 months. The 1TB hard disk drive will be based on perpendicular recording technology. The 1TB Barracuda from Seagate Technology is expected to hit the market sometime in the first half of this calendar year. No additional information available.

    100% Disk Usage for my slave Hard drive - WesternDigital 1tb barracuda

    100% Disk Usage on Secondary Hard Drive

    At the moment, I'm trying Method 2, but it causes 100% usage just by attempting to read it. According to Task Manager, it is the utilizes the hard drive the most on I/O read bytes, but this Chrome window uses the most on I/O write bytes (I have it installed
    on my SSD, so I doubt it should be causing anything in the other hard drives.).

    I had to close the first instance because it didn't respond when I chose to scan the drive. As of right now, it has not made any progress and the hard drive is at 100% usage.

    Does the amount of files on the disk affect how it is read as well? I recently bought this hard drive new and have very little files on it.

    Edit: It apparently decided to switch to my main C: drive instead of going to the hard drive. I'm going to retry with a full system scan.

    It hit a spike when it started scanning C:\Windows\syswow64\Spoonuninstall.exe right now. There is 0 kb read/write on the hard drive that is hitting 100% usage.

    Final Edit:

    I found that when I formatted the drive partition, it started running properly again. I tested out the Dolphin emulator as well as other games on it and it never peaked at 100%. It seems that something on the disk was causing the peaks, but what exactly
    I couldn't find out. It may have been a file corrupted as I copied over the games from my smaller hard drive or something else. Either way, it seems the problem is gone so far.
