Hey guys,

 

Recently my SSD got down to only 1.5GB of free space. Ever since I cleared up some space to 10GB, when I click on a game, it takes the computer about 6 seconds to start loading the game. It starts loading it after I hear my HDD start spinning up. Could my computer have resorted to keep some vital information on the HDD due to the SSD being almost full? Keep in mind that my games are installed on the SSD.

 

Thanks for the help in advance. I was a lot more thorough with my explanation, but when I went to click post, I got some server maintenance error. Frustrated, this is what I came up with, hopefully you guys understand what is going on. Let me know if you need clarification.

I would move some of those games to your HDD. But I guess it's possible.

That's what I did. But the games that are on the SSD still load slow.

Try freeing up some more space if you haven't already. Thing is...SSDs can't become too full or they slow down after a while. The reason for this is because the controller monitors all data, and overtime it hit 100% causing slow speed. If you've managed to free some space, run Trim if your SSD doesn't clean itself or if Windows 7 isn't activated to do this automatically.

Trim is enabled in windows. Ill try freeing up some more space...
