@Spare-rib Hey! Thanks for letting me know. My issue did get sorted after some time though I'm still not sure what caused it or what exactly solved it. I did perform several windows reinstalls, with the disk working properly for a day or two after each reinstall. Eventually, I wiped the SSD...

Just a thought, could I be maxing out my PCIe bandwidth? As I'm fairly certain that the issue started around the time I installed the new NVMe. Though I don't understand enough to know if that's the case or not.

As a test, I created a 6GB archive and started copying it around different drives. When copying it to/from the affected drive, the speed starts off at 2-3GB/s and then instantly drops to 100-200/s. Half of the archive is already copied at this point and I have to wait for the remaining data...

Just updated the BIOS to latest version. Still getting 215MB/s write speed like something's stopping it from going up. Set PCIe M.2.2 and M.2.1 to PCIe5 and PCIe4 just to test, still nothing. Ran more tests and none of them are showing any issues. Double-checked all drives for malware using...

I had a similar issue with games crashing on a brand new PC and also started out with Jedi Survivor. Started playing Deus Ex Mankind Divided and also got crashes there from time to time. Even viewer was logging this error during my crashes: dxgi_error_device_hung What seems to have solved it...

An update some days later. I ended up reinstalling Windows 10 completely and formatted the Samsung 980 NVME, worked without any issues for 2-3 days. This morning, starting up took about 5 minutes, then the PC was almost unresponsive for about 30 minutes while disk usage subsided. I'm now at a...

I may try to apply the updates again and see if this will cause any issues with the drive's write speed. Will provide more info here when available.

I know, it's all I could do at the time. I can see the processes, but the top process is running 180,000 bytes which is nothing for an SSD. When I booted up the PC the disk was stuck at 100% active time for 30 minutes, during which I couldn't do anything. I waited 5-10 minutes before I could...

So today, I can't seem to even start the PC properly. Booting to Windows took about 10 minutes, another 10 to open task manager and resource monitor, but I couldn't take a screenshot, had to take photos with my phone. (Sorry for the poor quality) The system is currently reading/writing...

Ok, it seems like I spoke too soon. Issue is back, the PC had just been standing idle the entire time. Now write speed tops at 215MB/s. I did move the page file to the new NVMe as suggested. Tried to take a screenshot of resource monitor after rebooting. Although the PC did boot fast and I...

Yes, but Windows downloading an update and creating a restore point should not render the entire system barely responsive. I wasn't able to recreate the issue on boot this time, which is why I posted screenshots during operations. Point being, the speeds that max out the SSD and render the...

Ok so, strangely enough, I downloaded a Windows update which was quite painful considering the last reported write speeds and after reboot, I ran another benchmark and write speed is now up to 2GB: Not sure what the deal was. Based on the review here...

Hi there! Sure thing, screenshot of disk management below: As for the Resource Monitor, there was nothing going on with that disk at the moment, so I started another benchmark via Samsung Magician. Providing screenshots of Resource Monitor sorted by Total during both read and write tests, as...

Update: Just did another test and somehow the write speed is even worse than before: If the SSD was dying, wouldn't that be reported in the health status, and wouldn't the SMART test indicate issues as well? Edit: Providing export from SMART data as well: Model Name, Samsung SSD 980 500GB...

Hello everyone! Recently I've been having a weird issue where my disk would go to 100% usage for seemingly no reason and cause the entire system to be extremely slow or outright freeze. At this point, I've done everything I could think of short of reinstalling Windows. Specs below: OS...
