For me Windows becomes unusable as soon as any of my drives is being hammered, including when it is swapping, but not limited to it.

Explorer freezes too when an external hard drive spins up, very annoying.
I remember my older Macs and Windows 98 laptops liked spinning the CD randomly, sometimes waiting to read it. I'd eject it when I hear it spinning. No CD for you.
I kept my floppy drive installed until I got tired of explorer freezing every time I accidentally selected it (quite often as I have a habit of navigating with the keyboard)
It's such a strange issue which existed in Windows for ages, even though on the surface it seems like it would be easy to fix.
