Hard Disk Monitoring

Only on machines that have HDS installed, I see WMI Errors every 5 minutes exactly in Event Viewer and high CPU usage history. I have tried changing HDS "Detection Frequency" from 5 minutes to 4 hours but doesn't change what I am seeing. See screen shots.

Thanks for all the help!

This is more intensive than a simple format, so may be better to attempt to make the whole disk surface fresh.... This is where I was headed but was unsure if Reinitialize re-writes the entire...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I sent report to developer. I realize the chances of assuming there's no issues with system power, cables, etc... but this is a brand new motherboard, connection for this drive is not by cable because it is NVMe PCIe M.2, new power supply, running on battery backup and...

I use a third party software "Paragon Backup Restore 16" to make weekly backups of OS drive C. This has worked great, until this week it is failing at 99% due to "unable to read source disk". Paragon support recommends using chkdsk C: /f /r, which I did but it found no errors. So...
