Windows 10 a disk drive killer?
I am now on my third boot disk since upgrading to Windows 10 in
January 2016. The first disk had been in service for 4 years prior to the upgrade, it lasted three months. It was a cheap WD 1TB Blue disk. The replacement disk was also a WD 1TB Blue and it only lasted six months before it developed bad blocks and SMART error. I replaced it with a Toshiba 1TB that seems to be faster than the WD. So far so good. I did notice that Windows 10 seems to unnecessarily beat the hell out of a hard drive, especially after a boot. Way too much disk activity for upwards of 20-30 minutes sometimes at 100%.

I did have an HD fail that developed bad blocks on a Win8.1 notebook. So, unless others are seeing this kind of behavior, I'd point the finger at the HD manufacturers' QC. -- best regards, Neil

She does have a number of softwares configured to run at startup, but, sheesh, that harddrive just goes on and on! I haven't noticed anything like that on my Win10 computers. They also still have their original HDs. -- "You need a good dose of reality here. People don't really care.

Lost several 1TB drives in the last couple of years some with Windows some with Linux. 1-2TB drives have a bad reliability record. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com

Way too much disk activity for upwards of 20-30 minutes sometimes at 100%. Hi Have a look at the power saving options. After a short idle time disks will be shut down. This is bad because a ordinary disk is build for only (I think) 300.000 start-ups. I have changed this option to 60 minutes. With best regards Reinhard DiagTrack (Connected User Experiences and Telemetry) killed my HD in my laptop. Beat it to death. Replaced it with an SSD so things are faster but there is still a lot of disk I/O going on. Threads here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/c...e_please_help/ https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...7-0130a59e6ee3 C:\Windows\Temp\WPR_initiated_DiagTrackAotLogger_W PR System Collector.etl The stub article here, claims WPR was included in WAIK. Presumably someone building installer discs, could include logging in there. The question would be, why is it running after the system installation is finished. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib.../hh448205.aspx The danger with any ETW stuff, is if it gets into an infinite loop, by logging its own activities. The same can happen with Indexing Options, if you set it up, so it can "see" its own database file. It keeps seeing changes in the database, and indexes it over and over and over again. Whoever commanded the collection of that data, must have been asleep at the wheel, to have allowed it to run amok like that. And no, feeding it an SSD is the last thing you want to do. That's like putting out a fire by pouring gasoline on it. That just means it can loop faster. Paul
