[SOLVED] GTA V Crash on New HDD | 100% disk usage spike

[l3tr1xingame]

I recently bought a new 1TB HDD for data storing and a 120GB SSD for OS and programs. Before, I have a 320GB laptop-size HDD and GTA V worked fine, but after I installed my new HDD and moved the game there, began to work badly.
In GTA Online after a few minutes of loading, the disk reaches 100% usage and freezes the game until usage goes down. Memory is about 80% usage and SSD usage is about 1-5%. This didn't happens in my old 320GB HDD.
Anyway to fix it?

What are model names of your drives?
Can you show screenshot from HDtune health for your 1TB drive?

I don't see Current Pending Sectors parameter in that list. Other than that - health looks fine.


Can you reproduce 100% disk usage situation and show screenshot from Resource Monitor - Disk Activity tab (order it by column Total, file names visible)?

It should look like this:

l3tr1xingame, from this the drive looks to be in good health. You can run SeaTools just to be on the safe side.

I see you have pagefile on C: and D: .
You should remove it from HDD and leave it on SSD only.

Also excessive pagefile usage signals about insufficient memory. Consider upgrading your ram to 16GB.

I turned off after installing Win 10 on SSD.

I disabled pagefile on HDD but now crashes when freezes. I will try reinstalling.

Can you show screenshot from pagefile settings?
How much free space on C: ?

I changed the pagefile size to 8192min - 16384max and reinstalled. Now it seems to be working fine.
