Hi Pete 0

Looking at the figures you have provided, there are very huge if you mean 27.70 Gigabyte of data for write and 13.92 Gigabyte for the read. If this is the case your disk utilization should be 100%.

Sophos Autoupdate takes the disk utilization sometimes but when there is software update is available and is being downloaded on the machine, not usually.
