    Disk Usage 100 Percent


    I have had a problem over the last week or so where the disk usage on one of my SSDs is at 100 percent. This makes it impossible to access any files or data on the drive while the drive is in this state, after boot the 100 usage generally lasts around 15 minutes before mysteriously acting normal like a fast SSD. It occasionally goes back into the 100 usage state. I have tried many things to fix this and it is becoming increasingly frustrating, I do not think that the SSD can be broken because it is only around 1 month old and has not had heavy usage. This drive is mainly used as a steam library for games and has no windows files/ is not a boot drive.


    Any Ideas on how to rectify this would be great.


    My full specs:


    Ryzen 7 3700x

    Aorus Elite X570 AM4 Motherboard

    2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB RAM 3600Mhz

    RTX 2070 Super 8GB Graphics Card

    Cooler Master V850 80+ Gold PSU

    Windows 10 Home 64 Bit 1909


    4 Drives in total:

    -Samsung 840 Evo 240GB SSD Boot Drive

    -WD Green 3TB Hard Drive

    -Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive

    -WD Blue 500GB SSD Drive that has 100 Usage

    :)

    100 percent disk usage

    iv tried everything suggested there, nothing helped. everytime i restart my computer the disk is in 100 percent usage. some times it will go under(to 50-60) but never below that. and i dont think is "Just means that your hard drive controller is maxing out and performing as designed", because every time it gets to 100 percent the computer get very slow.
