    Could be a failing drive, it's over 1000 days of power on hours and when I see standard mechanical drives that have 100% disk usage all the time paired with being that old, 9 times out of 10 it's a failing drive. Doing anything other than changing out the drive that is actually having issues isn't going to fix the problem. Swapping out your SSD isn't going to affect your standard HDD. You might want to replace the drive. Run HDTunePro if possible, but usually when I see drives experiencing what yours is I immediately replace it, those drives are cheap enough that it's better not to risk it. Plus Macrium Reflect is super easy to use and depending on how bad the drive is you can usually have it cloned to the new drive in just a couple hours without losing any information. I do at least 3 HDD replacements a day with almost identical circumstances to yours and from my personal experience it's almost always a failing drive.

    What happens if you take a large file (or group of files) and copy them over to the E: drive?
     
    Do you see the read/write going up during the copy process?

    I would stick to having 2 phones. Keep your personal information. As you mentioned you want to keep your information to yourself. Then do that.

    If the title isn't too related to the video it may be harder to find, like searching for motherboard VRM, when the video title was "THAT THING POWERING YOUR CPU" or something.

    Does Tech Quickie really need the click bait titles and thumbnails to survive? Because it makes it harder to find certain videos IMO, or at least it will in the future.

    Why? Why an Intel 730 series SSD?
    You can get brand new 500GB SSDs for less.

    Single slot blower style? Either a low range card or a throttling mess.
     
    EDIT: Ok, it's dual slot, it just looks messed up on some pics.

    There's another gotcha that you overlooked. What happens when the user enters multiple characters as an answer to a question? (try it).
    You need to clear the input stream after each input operation to flush any additional nonsense the user may have typed.
     
    Also note that `system("pause")` is not portable.
     
    Modified example:
    #include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> #include <limits> #include <cctype> using namespace std; void CheckAnswer(char correctAnswer) { while (1) //endless loop. { char answer; std::cin >> answer; /* Clear the cin input stream! */ cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n'); answer = toupper(answer); if (answer == correctAnswer) { std::cout << "Correct!\n"; break; //break from endless loop. } else { std::cout << "Wrong!\n"; } } } main() { /* place the introduction in a scope of it's own, this limits the scope of std::string name so it does not pollute the entire main function. */ { //INTRODUCTION cout<<"Enter player name: "; string name; cin>>name; cout<<"WELCOME " <<name<< " TO WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONARE"<<endl; cout<<"INTRODCING YOU'RE HOST C++"<<endl<<endl; system("pause"); cout<<"RULES"<<endl; cout<<"1.ANSWER IN ALL CAPS"<<endl; cout<<"2.YOU HAVE 3 LIFELINES CALL A FRIEND,50-50 and skip question"<<endl; cout<<"3.NO CHEATING"<<endl <<endl <<endl; cout<<"WITHOUT FURTHER A DO WHO WANT TO BE A MILLIONARE?"<<endl; system("pause"); } //QUESION //question 1 cout<<"Who is the Current Chancellor of Germany"<<endl; cout<<"A-Wilhem II"<<endl; cout<<"B-Angela Merkel"<<endl; cout<<"C-Franz Hamburg"<<endl; cout<<"D-Hanz Zimmerman"<<endl; CheckAnswer('B'); //QUESTION 2 cout<<"Who is the competitor Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?"<<endl; cout<<"A-Antonio Sallieri"<<endl; cout<<"B-Ludwig Beethoven"<<endl; cout<<"C-Johann Pachelbel"<<endl; cout<<"D-Johann Sallieri"<<endl; CheckAnswer('A'); /*...etc...*/ system("pause"); }
