Really? sda1, sdb1, sdc1? Do you have three other drives? In Linux
naming conventions, "sd" means SCSI or SATA, "a" means first disk, "1"
means first partition. So if you had one disk, I'd expect sda1, sda2,
sda3, sda4 if you had 4 partitions. Anyhow...
First, grab an SSH client if you're on Windows. I like Putty a lot. If
you're on a Mac, there's already an ssh command you can run in
Terminal.app.
Home > Settings > Advanced > Remote Login and Enable SSH
Log in to your Touch with your SSH client
At the command line, type *top* and hit return
You should see something like

I expect that when you have trouble you'll see a high %CPU number by
one of the perl processes -- slimserver.pl or gdresized.pl. In my case,
the process %CPU were low but the overall "io" was high. And the darn
disk LED lit constantly.
To quit 'top', you can just tap the "q" key. To log out, it's the
"exit" command. Or you could just close your SSH window, no big deal.
I generally recommend that you leave SSH disabled. Oh, and you'll get
bigger logs on your hard drive if you make a directory named "log" in
the top level of your hard drive (and reboot Touch so Touch sees it;
safest way to reboot is to SSH in and run the "reboot" command).
