My HDD on a dock just started making noises like it’s being accessed but I don’t see any program accessing it.
Is there a program that shows which HDD is accessed by which program in percentages similar to how the task manager shows which programs use the most CPU?
Answer: If you’re using Windows Vista or newer, try Resource Monitor. Just type resmon into the Start menu search, or open Task Manager and click the “Resource Monitor” button on the Performance tab.
Once in Resource Monitor, go to the Disk tab. There you can see which processes are accessing your disks, and exactly which disks and which files they’re accessing.
You can also check out Process Explorer (from Sysinternals). It’s a bit more flexible and fully-featured, for instance you can set a filter to show only the processes that are accessing a particular disk or path.
