For people interested in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update 100% HDD load problem:
I have installed the Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers, and since then, I haven't had a hard disk hang. Later I've also reinstalled the laptop from scratch, also installing IRST, and everything is looking good at the moment.
While IRST offers some special features, such as setting up RAID-solutions on a single disk (I don't know what the point of that is, but still...), you don't have to use those. Just installing IRST replaces the default Microsoft driver.
Obviously, you'll need to have an Intel chipset that supports IRST. On AMD, you may be able to use an AMD chipset / hard disk driver to replace the Microsoft one.
