Hi,
I have an MSI PE60 2QE with a 1TB Western Digital Blue HDD (for data/games) and a Samsung 850 EVO M.2 SSD (boot drive). I have this problem where my HDD periodically spins up whenever I try to access data, or even things like opening new tabs on chrome. It would be bearable in those situations however this also happens when I'm gaming and I get a 1-2 second lag spike which is extremely irritating.
I have read other threads with this issues and tried some fixes, none of which worked. I have set the HDD power options to "never" turn off, which didn't work, and I have done a SMART test using HD Tune, which showed no errors or damaged blocks, so I'm out of ideas as to what it could be.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have got round it so far by just using my SSD to put games on, but it's not a very large SSD so I'd like a fix if possible.
Thank you!
