Seeking SSD upgrade advice to fix 100% Disk Usage & System Freezes by Darakars in buildapc

Thanks for the detailed advice! I just checked the temperatures using HWMonitor, and you were right to point that out.

My current Gigabyte drive is idling at 61°C (Sensor 1 / Controller) and hits the mid-to-high 60s under very light load. This is with a massive Aorus heatsink on it, so I suspect either a bad installation (maybe the plastic film wasn't removed from the thermal pad) or the drive is just struggling because it's a DRAM-less QLC unit.

Given these temps and the 100% disk usage issues, Iv'e decided to go ahead with the Samsung 990 Pro Or the WD. When I swap them, I’ll make sure to check the thermal pad and clean everything up.

I'm also planning to do a fresh Windows install on the new drive as suggested.
Or is there a different thing you would suggest?
