Hi,
That rpm hdd is supposed to be used as a data only disk not for an os install
Often manufactures will use them the 2.5" size for laptops so less heat will occur
I'd personally look into a smaller 250..gb hdd 7200 western digital black or larger depending on your budget or just out and out switch to a 250gb ssd and use the hdd as it was intended to be used as a data only disk.
Not to say 10 is not acting up you're just seeing the results of 10 acting up on a 5400rpm 2tb hdd :/
I have this PC now for a full year and actually it works rather fine :) No hiccups whatsoever and well, looks like I'll have to get used to this. I just had a small budget (€1000) to make this PC so yeah. Littabitta comprimises.
And I compiled it not myself, I only chose the PARTS for the PC. The man who built this PC in his shop stuffed in that HDD for me.
If you can't see a related process with the task manager, which is quite possible (using the Details view which lists more processes for disk is awkward) try Sysinternals Process Explorer, rt click the column header, and make sure Disk Reads and Disk Writes appear as column headers.
But I think you need to return to the problem of a restricted transfer rate, as your symptoms are typical of people with that problem.
Hi,
You might make sure you're not being used as a MS server delivering updates to others on the internet :/

To the list of things like indexing that may need updating after an upgrade, there's also application compatibility testing. I've traced unexpectedly high disk activity to this in the past. If leaving the PC on for an hour or so doesn't end the activity, only then would I be concerned. There's a lot of housekeeping that needs to be done after an upgrade, apparently.
