Hi all,
Hoping someone can share some understanding on how download speeds, internet speeds, and read/write speeds are correlated. I just installed a Samsung 970 EVO SSD and started a download via steam on it but noticed a few thigs in the task manager performance tab
If it is relevant, I am running an AMD 5600x on the MSI B550M Pro Wifi downloading to the aforementioned Samsung 970 EVO SSD
Thanks!
Hoping someone can share some understanding on how download speeds, internet speeds, and read/write speeds are correlated. I just installed a Samsung 970 EVO SSD and started a download via steam on it but noticed a few thigs in the task manager performance tab
- Disk usage is very low during downloads at only ~2%
- Read/Write speeds currently are looking like 100-400 KB/s / ~60 MB/s in task manager
- Download speed in steam is 30 MB/s with peak of 34
- Wifi download speed is ~ 250 MB/s (Not using ethernet, for some reason ethernet is significantly slower then wifi)
- Why is the final download speed not reflective of disk write speed or the network download speed if (presumably) hardware is not the issue
- Why is only 2% of the SSD being utilized for download?
- Is this evidence of a bottleneck or issue occurring somewhere?
- Is the issue on the end of the network/serverI am downloading from and not my system?
If it is relevant, I am running an AMD 5600x on the MSI B550M Pro Wifi downloading to the aforementioned Samsung 970 EVO SSD
Thanks!
