After cloning my data from said HD to the new one today, I opened a session that I've been working on and my CPU indicator (which never breached 10% before) is now sitting at 100%-120% when I hit play.
This new HD has no bad sectors on it (as I tested it), so why is this happening? There are no other performance issues while using all other applications except for Ableton. Prior to this swap everything was butter. WTF.

Re: swapped my HD with NEW same spec HD and I have big problems!
Nevermind for now. After swapping my drive I selected a "high performance" hard drive feature in my BIOS. After rebooting and deselecting it, my Ableton session is running fine now.
Weird.
