Hi! It very much does sound like your hard drive is having a hard time loading rust, You do have to remember rust and fortnite maps are quite big, Compaired to other smaller games such as csgo, So when your harddrive has to load so many things at once it probably will have a hard time, It doesnt help that it is only a 5400 rpm drive, If you wanted to you could always upgrade to a bigger and faster laptop hard drive, But if you want to risk some space you could always upgrade to a ssd, It would make your games so much faster and smoother, Look below :)
