Perhaps you could run iotop find out if there is a process chewing up your hard disks. You aren't just limited to top, you can also use vmstat and iostat in this situation.
I also recommend dstat (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/dstat/). It shows informations from several sources, so it's possible to see if you have CPU peaks and I/O peaks at the same time.
