    Have you disabled the indexing service..??
    It can be disabled from C: properties..!!
    U could also run a drive fitness test via HD Tune or from here....

    Hi angad1608!
    Indexing is off.. There is no Hd activity, its just spinning and I can fell it. I simply could not know when my 5k100 was on or off. Done all tests and HD is OK.
    Thanks
