Question NVME slow read speed that causes lag during gaming

[Rick2kool]

Hi, I recently started to have lag during my gaming sessions that I didn't have before. I'm mostly playing Cyberpunk 2077 and Fallout 4. I tried to identify where that could come from and I noticed that when the lag append, disk usage is at 100% and response time of the disk skyrockets to hundreds and sometimes thousand of Ms while read speed are at 1 or 2 MB/s . I don't understand why because i only have my games running on that disk (Teamgroup MP33).

Maybe someone can help me find and solve this issue.

Computer specs:
Windows 11 - 23H2
r5 5600x
RTX 3070ti
32GB DDR4
OS drive: 500GB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS
Game drive: 1TB Teamgroup MP33 M.2

Thanks,
Rick

Open the Disk Management window.

Expand so all drives can be seen.

Take a screenshot and post the screenshot here via imgur (www.imgur.com).

Although your D: drive is only half full (48% free), perhaps the drive controller is performing "wear levelling" housekeeping tasks in the background.

Alternatively, do the games require frequent writes/reads to/from the disk? Check disk activity in Resource Monitor.

Is your CPU bottlenecking during intensive gaming.
