Almost two years ago I bought an ASUS laptop (TUF FX505-GE) with a SSHD (ST1000LX015-1U7172).
As I started using the computer more and more, I noticed that Windows10 was constantly freezing with 100% disk usage (even though task manager said it used max 1MB/s for whatever process was making the usage high); the boot time of the computer itself was not bad, at best it was 6s, at worst max 9s. After booting andwriting entering the PIN code for windows log-in, it takes like 2 minutes to actually get to the desktop. Not to mention that the first 5 minutes after which Windows starts, the computer it's basically useless. It takes seconds to open up the File Explorer, Browsers, etc. Having to do a restart of my pc takes usually more than 10 minutes after I can get back to whatever thing I was working on.
Having to work with this hard-drive it's honestly exhausting an I've run out of options for what the problem might be. One would think that the hard-drive may be faulty but if that was the case, wouldn't this be visible in the actual boot time? Also I did a lot of tests with CrystalDiskMark and CrystalDiskInfo and nothings seems out of the ordinary.
I also doubt Windows is the problem, since I've reinstalled it more than 10 times so far.
Another thing that gives me thinking is that I have another computer older than 6 years, for which I paid ~300$. That computer seems to handle GTA Multiplayer fine (except for the ocasional fps-drops that are attributed to the GPU) but on my computer is honestly unplayable. The last time I played on Multiplayer the disk usage was constantly 100% and everything was basically freezing, meanwhile in the Singleplayer, that's not the case. So I doubt that a computer that old, with inferior hardware is actually outperforming my computer for which I paid ~1000$. And since the freezing on my computer happens only in Multiplayer, I doubt there's hardware issue.
TLDR: Windows constantly freezes. Boot time seems fine. CrystalDisk info seems also fine. Here is the screenshots ( View: https://imgur.com/a/iZ9DC7s
