My current issue is that applications in windows will freeze upon opening or randomly during operation. The duration of these freezes vary, from a few seconds to 30/40 seconds. While this occurs task manager show the disk usage at 100%, despite nothing being written or read on the ssd according to tskmngr. My ssd is not full i have 163gb free. All i have on there is my drivers, utilities(RGB and web browser) and windows. I have reinstalled windows with the hard copy, because for some reason the restore OS option without disk failed repeatedly. I had to delete all the partions of that disk due to some formatting error.
My build: Ryzen 2700 8 core, gigabyte b450 aorus pro wifi rev. 1 (bios ver. 52) 32gb(2x 16gb) DDR4 2933mhz corsair vengeance rgb pro, ROG strix rx 5700 xt.
Hard drive in question is PNY 223.6gb (passmark) ssd2sc240g1sa754d117-820
Is my ssd bout to join the choir invisible?
Any recommendations as to what storage to get?
