100% Disk Activity Time and HDD health
Hello there. I've been in need of some help here.
First of all, sorry about my English. I haven't been practicing lately...
I've got a Dell Vostro 3450. It has never worked really well, but the performance has been degrading recently.
I have recently updated to Windows 10, in order to see if it would solve the performance problems. But then I started to face others, so I went to the forums to try to cope with them.
One of these matters was the disk activity time spiking to 100% all the time. I've tried all the things I read, but none of them stopped it.
Then I figured it could be something with the HDD itself. So I downloaded HD Tune Pro Trial and the Health screen is the one that follows.
So I ask: how grave is the situation? Can the 100% come from the HDD bad health?
Sorry if it seems too elementary, I'm really a layman.
Thanks in advance!
