Disk Usage 100%

[sumanth.ganta]

I currently have 2 hdd’s, one 1TB 7.2k rpm one, and another 200gb 7.2k rpm one, I use the first one for gaming and second one for other stuff.

But whenever I run games the 1TB goes to 100% dusk usage, and really slows me down, is there anything I could do to prevent that?

Is it possible I could utilize the other drive because that stays at 0% most of the time, I’m willing to use that for gaming too if needed...

Use Task Manager and Resource Monitor to learn more about what your computer is doing: first while not gaming and second, while gaming.

The objective is to identify some process, service, or application that may be grabbing disk usage.

sumanth.ganta, you may also try using the manufactures testing software on the drive and see what the results are.
