No, those hours are all me. I had leave the computer on overnight running a bunch of diagnostic scan etc.. I want to make sure it looked good on paper before I put data on this drive.

This is what they said: From Amazon (shipped and sold by Amazon) and said brand new. Drive date on sticker says made in Jan 2026, and was wrapped in antistatic bag. the power on count & power on hours is from me running Test on the drive, overnight.

Just bought a Seagate ironwolf pro 8 TB and running some tests. I'm too noob to interpret the SMART stats, are there any concerns in the image? idk why Victoria is showing some 4 yellow dots for some areas vs. 5 greens.

Yea but that's only shows if it's currently happening right now. I want to be able to see the history

For Windows Update or Defender scans, Telemetry or crash dumps Could windows update/scans be running on its own without me knowing? For Windows update, I had it set so I have to check it manually, but it's been nagging me to update to Windows 11 25H2, could that be it? I also noticed Windows...

Does anyone know of a program that can track what exactly has been writing data to my SSD/c Drive? For example in the picture above, i want to know since i turned on the PC today, what program/service is causing 42 gb+ of data to be written to my drive. The only intensive thing i did today...

So my main question is if it is marked, will it still be marked if I reformat the drive or use the drive on another OS (currently I have Win 10 and Win 11 on seperate drives)

Yea I used it before. I ran both extended test. Didn't say anything iIRC

I see so chkdsk isn't applicable to what I think it would do. . But google says this on chkdsk and bad blocks: "marking them as unusable and attempting to recover readable data". I guess this is still helpful no?

I want to run chkdsk /f /r /x on the following drive in the picture since Victoria says there's some block issues. If chkdsk does fix anything, would the fix still be there if I boot into a different OS or reformat this drive? I'm still noob to chkdsk.

I reformatted the drive and only put the video file in there to rule out further. As i was watching the movie, I noticed something interesting: there was less Disk I/O activity and less active time than before (basically 0 for both), as the movie progress, then it started having more Activities...

idk, yesterday i watched the same video on my much older and slower HDD, (Hitachi HTS545032B9A300, which was the C drive of my secondary win 10 test OS yesterday), i was able to watch the same 2.5 hr video from beginning to end with no freezing. on the WD WD6004FZBX 6 TB, same...

I installed a secondary OS (Win 10) with minimal software, still the same issue. So i don't think its a software issue. 1. If i recalled, the last time it happened on Windows 11 was also "System". picture below is when it froze too. F drive is the one where my file is playing off of and...

Thanks zbook. I believe it should be resolved now. Will update this thread if anything .
