Before I switched to SSD, I had problems like this. Not a lot,
necessarily, but more than now. One thing that seemed to help while I
was still using a HDD was running a command to write something trivial
to the problem disk every two minutes, while music was playing. This
works in Linux:
Code:
--------------------
while true; do echo "$(date)" > "<PROBLEM_DRIVE>/keepawake.txt"; sleep 120;
done &
--------------------
That simply writes the current date and time to the root directory of
the drive every two minutes.
