About an hour or so ago I turned a 1TB Seagate SSHD from a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk. And reinstalled Steam and Origin, and all my games to it. As well as Copied a total of 3-400GB of data to the drive. Now after I've done this I realize I'm using twice as much RAM as I used to.
I have 16GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133Mhz 1.5v RAM. It used to be that after a reboot I would be using about 2.5-3.0GB of RAM and have around 13GB available. Now, after a reboot I'm using close to 6GB.
Take a look at this picture of Norton 360's performance monitor. All the way to the left you'll see how much RAM I used to use before I converted that SSHD, and as time goes by you'll see it shoots straight up to twice as much. You'll then notice it goes down a little after I exit out of all my running programs. But it doesn't go down nearly enough. When you notice where the memory was really low at first, I actually had Steam, Origin, Fraps, and everything running. And it was barely using any RAM. But now even though they're NOT running it's using way more. How can it be using twice as much RAM with all of these programs that were once opened, are now closed?

If you click forward or backward next to this photo, you'll also see pics of the resource monitor. These pics were taken after this happened, NOT before.
If I exit out of Steam, Origin, Fraps, and everything else, it goes from about 38% usage to to like 34%. Exiting out of every program I have running only takes up 4% of that RAM.
I have no clue what's using all this RAM, and why it happened after converting this SSHD.
Any ideas?
