I have been seeing a high instance of windows 10 upgrades having drive failures, the upgrade has the 100 percent disk usage issue more prevalent than the straight installation. I think its just increasing the spin time on the drives faster than normal, Ive seen it on 2-6 year old drives, the six year old drives i expect to fail anyway
