I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 Laptop with Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit installed and earlier this happened for a moth and my HDD Failed and replaced it and again after plugging it the disk usage still goes high. I don't know what is causing this. sometimes firefox or other apps lags for just a second and then returns back. at that time the disk usage will be very high and my hard disk status is ok in Hd Tune Pro. In Windows 7 there is no problem. Only problem is with windows 8. I am afraid about it. Kindly help me.

4 should be enough for everyday productivity - it would only struggle when running many apps at once. It sounds more like a software/windows problem, not a hardware problem. Have you contacted Dell tech support? They are an option.

Unfortunately, we cant really guess what the problem is -- this will require you doing some exploring. I would use resource monitor and task manager to look for specific threads that may be causing issues.

This might be worth reading - has some ideas:
