The laptop becomes very slow that opening chrome while moving files get the laptop unresponsive.

Windows explorer uses all disk resources.

Laptop: ideapad 330-15ikb

CPU: i7 8550u

ram: 8gb

HDD: seagate 5400rpm, the hdd is in a good health

I had another laptop which was i5 6th gen with the same hdd and i could run 1-3 programs while hdd is busy and there was not that lag

I know that I should expect that unresponsiveness but not in that way.

Question 1: Is there a problem in the laptop or hdd that i should worry about?

Question 2: Is there a temporary solution like limiting hdd read/write speed so there would be some left to open few programs beside it.
