    Disk Click and Activity Spikes

    Upgraded to win10 from win7 64.

    I now get audible disk clicks from my RAID 1 Samsung F3s. These correspond with 100% disk usage spikes visible in task manager.

    I'm getting ~ 200 ms frame freezes in CS:GO every few minutes. Which for an FPS is terrible. Also, disk clicks tend to happen whenever I'm doing anything "new." But also at completely random times.

    This NEVER happened in win7.

    I have an additional Samsung F3 that acts as a backup for my SSD boot drive.

    Was getting random spikes of activity on that too. There should have been no reason for this activity since my boot backup drive should be idle at all times except when doing a backup. Formatted the backup drive and turned off backups, and the random clicks
    and spikes still occur on it.

    This rules out disk health being suspect as I very much doubt that my ALL my F3's are going bad at the same time.

    16GB of RAM so it's not like I'm low on that.

    Other details: Asrock pro3. intel i5 4570. Asus gtx750ti.

    I have a silent build. Given the extremely annoying, audible, and new disk clicking, it looks like I'll have to go back to windows 7 unless this is resolved.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    switch disk numbers: I want Disk 0 to be Disk 1 and Disk 1 to be Disk 0

    Hi, My computer contained a normal HDD hard drive. I recently upgraded to a SSD. The original HDD is Disk 0 and the new SSD is Disk 1. The windows OS is on Disk 1. I want to dual boot my system with Windows and Ubuntu with both OS being on the SSD. Since
    the SSD is Disk 1 the Ubuntu install goes directly to Disk 0 because Disk 0 is first on the list. How can I switch the two Disks so my SSD drive is Disk 0? Thanks.

    Windows 10 disk keeps spiking to 100%

    Hi,

    My disk keeps spiking to 100% since I upgraded to Windows 10. I upgraded in September and the problem started with little infrequent spikes where the disk would stay at 100% for a few seconds. However since September the problem has got progressively worse
    and now the disk usage frequently reaches 100% and it stays at 100% for about 5 minutes.

    I've tried various solutions on the internet to 100% disk but none of them have worked.
