Working with a brand new Samsung Evo 870, and this pc has had this issue across multiple storage devices.
When downloading a game through steam, and ONLY through steam, it will go well for about 15% of the download. After about that much, (It's never a consistent amount) the disk usage steadily and slowly drops from an average of 250Mbps+ to low kbs until it stops altogether, usually resulting in a "disk write error." After pouring through forums and videos and searching this issue for a lot longer than I'd like to admit, I am forced to post here and resign myself to admitting this is the one computer issue that has stumped me in it's entirety.
I have tried the following, and not necessarily in this order;
* letting steam through the firewall
* running steam as an admin
* running chkdsk utility, no errors on any drives
* Using crytaldisk to verify again that all drives are healthy
* reinstalling steam on the same drive as the games I want to install instead of the home C drive
* changing the download region
* clearing the download cache
* ensuring that I have enough space to download said games, including well over 100gb of free space after a full install
* Compatibility settings in windows properties
* changing all folders to no longer be "read only"
* using steams "fix library" function
* disabling fast boot
* disabling "write protection"
* Replacing SATA connectors
* Using different ports for said SATA connectors on the motherboard
* updating all drivers in my system
* allowing steam "full control" through the security settings
There may be even more things that I have tried that I cannot think of at this moment, but I feel like I'm just throwing a dart and hoping it sticks at this point. If anyone has any ideas, for the love of all that is mankind, please help me.
