    Hello i have WD30EFRX with single GPT partition (created with Acronis Disk Director 12), when im copy files speed drop to 0 and task manager show 100% load, after some minutes load % down and speed increase, in games have that problem too, when im play in GTA 5 sometimes HDD load to 100% and textures disappear.

    You can spy on OS whether some process utilizes HDD.

    take a screenie of the firmware on the drive, some of the reds had issues with the firmware on release, might be worth to check the sata cable and the power cable aswell.

    You wouldn't happen to have another system you could try the drive in? even a HDD dock or something?
