Temporarily Disabled вЂStorage ServiceвЂ™ in Windows computer management Uninstalled Intel Rapid Storage Technology Ran Chkdsk on all drives (No errors detected) Ran SFC SCANNOW in CMD (No errors detected) I ensured вЂSuperFetchвЂ™ wasnвЂ™t activated and disabled that process permanently. I have no Windows explorer windows open that would warrant to querying of the drives and the problem continues when I lock my work station when the CPU and GPU fans have stop spinning due to inactivity. I ensured page file hasnвЂ™t been created in any of the external drives. Microsoft One Drive has always been uninstalled. I tried rolling back the two Windows ten updates installed on December 2 (because this problem only started some days ago) IвЂ™ve turned off automatic (optimisation) disk defrag of drives. IвЂ™ve checked Malwarebytes isnвЂ™t scanning the drives and made exceptions for all of them just in case.

Within Windows 10 power options IвЂ™ve set power saving mode and set to turn off all drives after 5 mins. Ensured indexing is turned off for all drives. Primary troubleshooting I have performed: If they were I would not be able to afford to buy them all. I canвЂ™t switch to SSD as theyвЂ™re all 4tb drives and theyвЂ™re not selling external 4Tb SSDвЂ™s to consumers yet as far as IвЂ™m aware. Note: They donвЂ™t get used often enough to warrant setting them to spin constantly.ДЄs you know itвЂ™s gonna wear them out quickly and be a very expensive exercise for me. This is despite them having been working optimally for several years before that. Over the last four days or so my five external 4Tb hard drives plugged in to my Dell via an independently powered 7 port hub have begun spinning up and spinning down every few minutes. This current problem is frustrating me to the endth degree because if I donвЂ™t solve it, it will end up costing me a lot of money due to drive wear.
