Question M2 SSD malfuncion

[Spazik]

Hi, I have M2 SDD Kingston snv2s2000g, and it behaves very weird.

It seems to work ok, in Kingston SSD Manager software it looks like it is 100% healthy and it is reporting no errors/issues...

BUT when I try to run the game stored on it, it just randomly spikes usage to 100% (in windows task manager) - but ther is no read/write happening and basicly comes unresponsive for the system, so as a result running game freezes or does not load at all.

Anyone experienced somehing like this? Probably reason to use warranty?

If SMART table doesn't show any errors and benchmark don't show slowdowns, must be something about your windows.

Thanks, but it seems this video did not help. I do not tihnk that 100% usage was coming from the SW.

What heleped was to delete some games and make SSD like 20% full (instead 60%). It seems to perform OK again.

So later I will try to add more files on it to see if the issue will occur again..

Make sure that Trim is enabled and also automatic optimization in windows. Default is every 10 days but you can do it manually or set for less days.It helps initiate Garbage Collection which restores cells with deleted data to 0 state and adds to speed read and specially write.
Other problem could be overheating during prolonged read and write and cause throttling so usage shoots up.
