A USB hub allows you to use one computer USB port to provide USB service to additional external USB devices.

Example products:

However, depending on what USB devices are connected a hub that uses computer USB power alone may not be able to handle the load. For heavy load requirements an independently powered USB hub should be used.

That all said ----

Please clarify "series". My thought was some TV show series.

As for the Hard drive being 100% look at the File column and look for whatever program(s) are doing lots of reads and writes.

No error messages at all?

Which model Seagate HDD?

Have you run Seagate's diagnostic software on the drive?

Does the drive have its own power supply or does it use USB?

Any USB hubs (powered or unpowered) connected to the hard drive?

Try running Task Manager:

Open Task Manager, watch your computer's actions for a few minutes. Leave the Task Manager window open and slide to the side. Open and watch a movie while observing Task Manager.

Close "movies" but leave Task Manager open. Then open series or games and again watch. Look for some difference in Task Manager between "movies" and "series, games".

You may spot some process or service hanging - e.g., disk, graphics, CPU related.

noerror at all just loading is taking forever.

Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex.

I didn't run seagate diagnostic software.

It's using a USB.

how to check if any hubs are connected to the harddrive?

And i watch the task manager there is everything fine.

And now when i have tried again some series started just fine, some needed some time, i really don't know what can be the problem
