    Hey, I just got a new sony sz650 and did a clean install on it.
    It's an awesome machine and the screen is just brilliant. However, there's one thing bugging me.
    A lot of times, even when I'm doing nothing on the computer (just sitting there looking at the desktop), the harddrive is active (meaning it is spinning). It goes like click, click, click, etc. and the orange harddrive activity light is flashing. Is this normal? It was active for about 5 minutes ago while I wasn't doing anything and now it's fine -_- It's really weird. Any thoughts?

    Disable either ReadyBoost, Superfetch, or both in services.msc. I think diabling superfetch alone should work. If not, then it's readyboost.
