xcody21x Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I recently bought this http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10077955&catid=20240 hard drive and installed it. When I set a torrent to download to this drive my mouse starts lagging and at the bottom of utorrent it says "Disk Overloaded 100%". If I set the location of the download to my other drive I get no lag and it downloads perfectly. Does anyone know if there's anything I can do?
