Recently I've been having a issue with my HDD (A Western Digital Blue 500GB) where it will go to 100% usage and causing lag when I am playing games that my system should be able to handle, regardless of graphical settings. An example of this is Battlefield 3 freezes quite a bit in accordance with the HDD light. The high usage can also occur when I am doing simple tasks such as opening Spotify and one or two folders.
So far to test it I have tried different SATA ports and cables which have resulted in the same problem, I have performed several virus and malware scans which have come back clean and I have also run the WD diagnostic tool which showed no error's so I really cant figure out what the problem is.
