100% disk 0

I am an experienced pc builder, over 20 years. My main pc is maybe 4 years old.

Asus gene am5

amd 7700x

32 gb 6000 Corsair vengeance

rtx 3060 12gb asus

2 x Samsung 9100 pro nvme

2 x Western Digital 10tb black

System has been running flawlessly until recently. Problem is disk 0, which is WD HD, goes to 100%. While in this state, most disk utilities freeze up, including computer management and all dos based utilities. System will not shutdown.

The odd thing is my WD HD is fully encrypted and not mounted so it's not actually reading any data. I can't tell but I suspect it's more like the io is frozen and just reporting 100%.

At first I thought the drive was failing but I disconnected it and problem just moved to the other HD. Since the other HD is using different cable and port that can't be it.

I ran avast and Malwarebytes. Doesn't see a virus.

Has anyone experienced this???

Thanks for any ideas.
