[SOLVED] Slow download on new SSD

[lukenix03]

I just installed a new 1 TB SSD for games since my primary 500 GB SSD (one with windows installed) was getting full. I tried downloading a game on the new SSD, and noticed that my download speed would start dropping, and then freeze at a certain point. Not only that, but it seemed that when the download speed would drop and freeze, it would make my PC lag (extremely noticeable cursor lag). I tried downloading the same game on my 500 GB ssd, and it was perfectly fine, no lag whatsoever. Speed tests show over 100 MB/s, so i figure it must be a problem with my SSD. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TLDR: New 1 TB SSD downloads games slowly. When the downloads slow down, it slows down my PC as well.

What SSD did you buy exactly?

Crucial P1 m.2, had good reviews and was a good price. I wouldn't think even if this wasn't the best ssd, that it would have a problem like this..

I'd run some basic tests on your new ssd and if it passes them run some tougher tests.
