Since upgrading to Windows 10 my main storage drive, a Samsung Spinpoint F3, seems to be clicking and spinning up and down a lot, as if it's going into a power saving mode - but I have all the power management for the drive that I can find turned off, and it even does it when I play a video from that drive, causing the playback to hitch.

It definitely wasn't doing this under Windows 7.

Anyone having a similar problem?
 
I replaced the Spinpoint F3 with a Seagate SSHD and the problem's gone. It also doesn't affect my backup drive, an old Seagate Barracuda. I have another PC with a Spinpoint F3 that I still need to upgrade to Windows 10, I'll hold off in hopes of a patch or a firmware update.
