Posted April 15, 2020 Hey, my problem is, that when something is installed on the D drive(1TB) its lagging like every 1-2 minutes for 3-5 seconds (mostly steam games). But when I uninstall them and install them on the HDD where the OS is installed(230GB) they run smoothly. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? I've been planning to buy a 1TB SSD (ADATA SX8200P), but for now with the corona sheet I really can't. Also the 1TB HDD is from a 5 year old laptop... Could that be the problem?

You can use any free software for that. It's just lagging so it's probably not disk failure and it's already of 5400 rpm and it's 5 years old. So, Probably try defragmenting and disk cleanup tools and check if it lags still.If it does still, then ditch the HDD and buy a SSD as you said.

I just googled it and it seems like it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 15, 2020 you can do it through windows. just right click on the drive, go to properties, tools, and then there will be a defragment or optimize button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HDD which is lagging , Defragment that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
