[SOLVED] 100% Disk Usage, Tried Everything. PLEASE HELP.

[christophersunnus]

I have tried all the common fixes to this issue and yet have I found a solution. Apparently my SSD is performing below expectations (35th percentile), tells me to change the SATA ports / cables did that, nothing. Updated all my drivers and BIOS, also I checked the RAM in there nothing was wrong. I have been reading about replacing , and or adding another SSD to fix the issue, maybe more ram? I Honestly want to find a fix to this instead of spending more money on this build.

FYI My build is basically brand build of windows as of a week ago:

MB: MSI B350M Gaming PRO
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB
SSD: Kingston A400 480GB
RAM: Kingston HyperX 2400 C15 1x8GB
PSU: EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ GOLD 650W

I would go with the Userbench highlight of the SATA3 issue. Perhaps you can connect the drive to another system, and have them run a similar benchmark? That would certainly help focus on the drive or the system itself.

Thank you for your quick response camieabz, unfortunately I do not have another system to test. any other solutions?

Update SDD fimware with Kingston SSD Manager.
To update, the SSD must be connected as SECONDARY disk via SATA cable (not USB Bridge). OS must run on another (primary) disk.

Then use program Driver Easy - it will find lots of driver updates, including AHCI. Without purchasing DE, you can manually download and then install each driver separately: download, open folder, right click on ini file, choose INSTALL.

Then use standard solutions: disabling windows services (indexing, superfetch, etc.). If still not ok - try disabling MSI in registry - you will find the manual in google.
