hey all,

a while ago my old ssd was failing me, so I decided to purchase a 1TB FireCuda SSHD, which installed into my system perfectly and everything went smoothly, since my old SSD contained windows I reinstalled it on the new drive, and there were no problems whatsoever

so, even more recently, I built a new pc, and I wanted to use this new SSHD for windows again, so I took it out, installed it into the new rig and did a clean install of windows

and then I noticed something, normally on my old rig when steam installs a new game you get the "allocating disc space" notification and that takes a few seconds to process, on my new pc it takes minutes

so I checked task manager, and my disc is constantly at 100% load, while every other component hovers at around 5-10%, and this even happens when the pc is idle

furthermore, read and write speeds seem very, very low, with a maximum between 25-45MB/s

now I have no idea what could have caused this, so I'm hoping anyone here might have a clue to resolve the issue

You can try to take down your SSD from PC and cool down he with ventilator or something, then put it back in your PC and try installing game. If he does work better then your SSD need to be replaced.

With the time he will be working worse.

you misunderstood the problem I believe, I don't have an ssd in my new pc, I only transfered the SSHD (hybrid drive) from my old one to my new one to use as my boot drive, and that's the one I'm having a problem with

I don't have any problems with heat either, the disc is at a comfortable 29 degrees

I’ve only had a couple of SSHD’s and not moved them between systems so this is guesswork.

An SSHD learns the frequently accessed files and moves these to the solid state part of the drive. I wonder if it still has to learn the new frequently used files?

Another thought, if a drive is starting to age and fail I have found formatting and reinstalling Windows can push it over the edge.

the age of the drive should not be a problem, it's only 3 months old

it could be that it still needs to learn my frequent files, but what seems the strangest to me is that it's almost always at max load, and then still has a low read/write speed

I don't have any other problems with the pc, but when comparing it to my old pc, which is 7 years old, it feels sluggish
