What's the meaning of the screenshot?
You are scanning so Defender uses the hard disk.
On other occasions there might be automatic maintenance going on or Chrome and Skype loading stuff up (0.2% usage).
All good and well.
Any AV running at the time ? In that range of file sizes, they are usually programs and executable files which AVs regularly check and larger ones are usually MM files or larger continuous files like .ISO or .CAB and other compressed ones that do not get AV's scrutiny. There's also the case of some files being compressible and other not, which different drives and their controllers handle different ways.

Well shouldn't defender have to use like 100mb transfer to reach the 100% disk usage?
If you don't want Defender or any other AV program to continually scan files as you are moving them, you can try "Teracopy" - But I always shut off Active Disk Scanning while I am copying files, regardless of size.
A good copy speed for me is about 50 mbps - IF you are getting 100, that's good. USB 3 devices? If you shut off active scanning, you'll get more speed.
I'm afraid just the fact it is SATA3 is no help speed wise. It is better to get as fast one as you can or even 2 in the RAID 0 mode which would give you best results.

I'm not buying it for speed, i'm buying it because the recording program can be located there and operating system. Operating system wont use that disk and the speed was better when i looked at info.

If the disk if for recording only, you can improve the performance by disabling the antivirus scan on it, disable indexing and automatic maintenance (usually defragmeantation which you can do manually when yon need it).
