[SOLVED] lagging on games

[tyler pankey]

my game takes up 100% disk and only has 20-30 mb on the disk everything else adds up to about 6mb THE MOST is it the hard drive/should I get a new hdd

Your 20-30mb of games is taking up 100% of the diskspace or do you mean the games are utilizing the disk at 100%.

Drives only really have two speeds: Busy and 'doing nothing'. They don't work or spin slower because you don't need the files as quickly so if you see something like 70% usage then that just means 30% of the time, the drive was doing nothing. So yeah, if your game is constantly reading from the drive, like an open world game, the 100% is completely normal. If your drive cannot keep up with the work then you might consider upgrading to an SSD.

can you have both ssd and hdd

could it be my ram because my disk in task manager is at 100%

and also my games like fortnite is taking up the space with only 20 mega bytes and my disk is at 100% by that one game taking up 20 mb//IT MAKES ME LAG BAD AND I CAN BARELY PLAY A GAME LIKE FORTNITE...
