No matter what i do in COD MW my HDD is being used and pinned to 100%. It fluctuates between 5 and 50mb/s of reading.

Is this normal. The drive is very noisy even though my CrystalDiskInfo says it's fine, so it's just annoying. Any fix?

When is this happening?  Launch?  Mid-way through a game? Etc?  Need more info.

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Pretty much all the time. After 30 mins it stops in the main menu, bot otherwise around 5 - 50mb/s

Seems odd.  How much RAM do you have?  Is your boot drive a SSD?  Was it optimizing shaders?

16GB should be more than enough RAM for Warzone, and even if you didn't the pagefile should be on the boot drive not the HDD...hmmm...  It takes 30 minutes for the HDD to stop thrashing around?

I can confirm this game uses the disk a lot. It makes my NVMe SSD peak at 3.5Gb/s read quite often.

It is a 200GB game, so it constantly loads in different assets and whatnot, and at such slow read speeds it probably has to keep doing it constantly to even keep up.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

It's loading assets on the fly and well an hdd isn't great for that in new games. So pretty much normal.
