Hello,
I have an issue in gaming that I can only imagine is related to my WD Green disk. In most games, from time to time my game will freeze for a second or so when trying to play some sounds. This doesn't happen with all sounds, and will only happen trying to play some specific sounds. As an example, for CS:GO it would be the round end VO clip, for other games there are other specific sounds that aren't used all the time (this never happens with sounds that are very common). This led me to believe that the issue could be with my disk, specifically with games trying to load certain sound files that weren't pre-loaded. I then remembered my HDD where I store games is a WD20EZRX, notorious for head parking. Since I'm not very savvy in those topics, I'm not even sure if those two facts can be related to each other and I'm really confused. If it could actually be the problem, is there any way to disable head parking without using wdidle3.exe? Or at least any other ways around this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I'm going to move my most used games to my SSD, thanks for the advice.
