February 2, 201412 yr In my desktop, when I download a torrent, the HD usage goes up to 100% and freezes the PC for about 10-30 seconds. When I DL the same file to a SSD in my desktop its fine no freezes. (DL speed does not seem to have a effect on the freezing). So my thought is that this drive is either A: going out and need replaced B: needs to be "fixed" with some kinda of software tools. I figured there has to be a HD guru on here somewhere =). Any advice is appreciated.
