Constant hard drive activity?

During preview in chrome, I hear constant hard drive activity.. in all projects.

well it's not exactly 'constant' to be precise it's a short burst repeated every ~half a second or so. It just doesn't ever chill out, even on really basic projects.

I can't ever remember it not being like this, but I just feel like asking now if it's normal or not.

so, anyone else have this too?

If you are using a Windows based PC, then check the Task Manager and look at I/O Reads and I/O Writes. That's what usually makes the most noise, and on my PC it's usually Kaspersky scanning something :/
