    Windows freeze 1-2 secs because of the hdd

    Hi,

    I have 2 ssd(256GB) and 1 hdd(1TB), for all the apps and Windows I use the ssds, the hdd I use it only for some storage.

    I have an issue where Windows constantly is reading data from the hdd even I don't have any apps on it, my hdd is going in idle very fast so when Windows is trying to read the data it freezes for 1-2 secs to spin the hdd (I can hear the spin when it tries,
    zuuuuuum and it takes 1-2 secs to recover). (even if I use only the browser for example)

    I had this issue before last year but forgot how I solve it, the issue appeared again before build 15007.

    (from power settings --> hdd sleep is set to 0)

    Replacing 120GB SSD with 1 TB HDD

    When I first built my PC, my 120GB SSD C: drive was plenty big enough since I had a 1TB HDD D: drive. Now though I am hitting the limit of my SSD and I want to migrate to a new 1 TB HDD. I cloned and swapped and it booted, but Windows is still only seeing
    120GB of my new 1TB drive. How do I fix this?
