It was an Auto Defrag cycle on New Windows 10 that I was not used to on a new drive that I was not used to. Problem solved, Sorry for the drama, Thanks!

I did nothing of major importance, installed ACDsee and changed the screen saver. I'm wondering if this is the defrag process just starting on a weekly basis because I just built this machine last week. I'm giving the 10 TB drive some time to "Defrag" and make noise if that's what it is...

When I look at the task manager the system is taxing the disk @ 50% / 2.5 - 5 MB/s and the CPU @ 13% - 14%. Same, I move the mouse and it goes away. Could it be the automatic defrag service? Disk Defrag is running high at this time I well I have now noticed.

Says its Good.

I'll check although it is literally 3 minutes on the nuts its starts and moving the mouse makes it go away so it makes me think something software related is causing this.

Sorry if there is an easy answer for this. On a new build, my only spinning HD started making noises (or working hard) at the 3-minute mark after I had messed with some screen saver settings. It was good before that, 2 weeks and now once I changed this setting it seems like it happens as soon...
