asked on resource manager - is this good / bad?
OptiPlex 3010 running win 7 pro with 4GB RAM. The hard drive started to fail after 2 years. I cloned it to a new drive, Both are 1TB with 950GB free (loads of extra disk space).
I hear the hard drive working as I type this and wondered. I started Resource monitor. Check the graphs. Is that normal? Is there something going on?
What's the blue line that completely falls off in the middle of the graph? And the green? Shuold they be flat topped or is the scale of the graph just too low?

Which graphs are you referring to? A screenshot maybe?
Most likely you are seeing actual utilization, not space. So what you are seeing is reads / writes.

DOH! Here's 2 screen shots now - 1 showing the throughput for the hard drives... and also crystaldriveinfo. those items that show non-zero - this is a brand new drive from WD that I used to clone the win 7 install from the failing Seagate drive. did some of the smart data come from the cloning process? (clonezilla failed the first clone and I ran it with the -rescue flag. so it's working harder to get the data off the old drive and that tainted the new hard drive?
Conceivably, a file or files were corrupt from the failing hard drive and the corruption got cloned onto the new drive? So that DLL / something else isn't readable even if it's a new perfectly fine hard drive? That sector is OK, but the data was corrupt when it was installed? but the machine IS working fine. just a fair amount of thrashing?
But right now, it's very quiet : )
