Windows 10: SSD Active Time boosts randomly to 100%

My SSD randomly goes to 100% and freezes everything for a minute or so, health is 100% and I don't know what could fix it

:)

 

SSD Disk Active time 100%

Yes, I run the test when the disk was completely idle and 0% usage.

AHCI is enabled. I also run the same test on my 2nd SSD and this one much faster:





I will clone my current system on that 2nd SSD and see if that help. I'm pretty sure that this was the problem.

I'll post back the results.

SSD Disk Active time 100%

Hi,
I have a relatively fresh installation of Windows 10 but it often gets very laggy.
- Any window takes a while to open
- Even typing on the keyboard has a delay
- Programs not responding

I did the usual checks such as
- Antivirus / Antispyware
- Drivers update

I noticed that my C: SSD disk is often at 100% "Active Time". There are some processes writing/reading from the SSD but that something the SSD should handle without freezing the entire OS.









Any ideas what's wrong?

cheers,
Tex

 

SSD Disk Active time 100%

Hi,
so the after using the PC for a while with the new SSD, I can confirm that this was the problem.

The problem on the older SSD was not high usage but the fact that even a "normal" usage was creating a bottleneck on everything.

Here, I'm downloading at 370Mbps and the disk activity is only at 10% where the older disk would be at 100%





Those are my disk speeds now:





Thanks for your help.

cheers
