Toshiba 1TB MQ04ABF100 5400RPM 128MB

Product Information

I can't imagine the HDD or CPU is should be doing all those tasks (especially gaming) yet have a panic attack every time it's asked to download larger files from the internet and take a few minutes to collect its thoughts. Modified the power options manually so the HDD doesn't slow due to inactivity until idle for 10,000 minutes and removed all GoogleUpdate tasks. It is expected to meet strong market demand in the client HDD market for high performance, large capacity storage for applications such as notebook PCs, and for recording high resolution images and data. It's at the point now if audio is playing and it sticks I'll hear an audio glitch for a second before the system resumes functioning. I wanted to try a theory since Steam downloads large files and went to the Internet Archive and downloaded one of it's legal torrents and got a 100% buffer overload warning from a torrent application (pre-allocation disabled) with its speed dropping to zero as it cleared the data backlog so it seems to be some kind of randomly occurring bottleneck with the HDD.

I also checked now during the problem (it occurs at different times every day not a scheduled task) and it was showing 100% disk usage in Task Manager with less than 1MB drive transfer usage. I have a dozen games installed at the moment that all play fine on the machine from Arkham Origins to Minecraft, SC2 and World of Warships, transferring 100GB Steam installer backups to and from TB drives and there's never a problem. The best hint I had was from the Internet Archive torrent download where the downloader stated disc cache overload.

If it's the former and you do see 100% disk usage then I'm in agreement that swapping the drive is the most sensible first step.

Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. It is possible that your hard disk drive driver is not compatible with the newer version of Windows.At the very least you'll be able to see whether the disk is just slow or whether it's being overused. The MQ04 Series single-disk model offers the storage industry’s largest capacity [2] per disk for a 2. Toshiba does not guarantee the availability of all products or models at these retailers and distributor. The fact I can download dozens of small files in an identical fashion and simply have issues with large files is extremely strange.

Every drive test comes up clean, I've tried allocating space for files before they download and not and the result is the same for both. The graph now contains those counters; the %idle time will show you whether the disk truly is busy most of the time and the Queue Length counter will show you whether this is because it's working normally but handling too many I/O operations. I can't be sure but downloading from the internet large files (several GB as a single file) seems to be a major trigger for the system slowing down. I downloaded a 1GB file no problem using Megasync, then tried a 19GB file last night and it really had slowdown problems.

When playing video files in VLC everything is fine and then randomly the machine seems busy and it can't even play 480p video without freezing for several seconds to catch up. This is more than just a slow speed hard drive issue, I've had enough systems to know this really isn't normal.
