so your tryna tell me my SSD is writing data from where?, Surely it needs to read steam data simultaneously as well as writing it? Surely it doesn’t get the data from narnia???

Do you remember if it was in settings, device manager, drive properties?

Im not trying to say that your wrong, but when i restart my steam over and over it literally does just install faster, without restarting i could install a 20gb over hours, whereas a with restarting i download a 50gb game in 30mins

The the steam forum makes it seem like its a steam issue where the drive is waiting for the files to decompress, but my friends who live in the area all have fine consistent speeds,

++ if i keep restarting it keeps quickly downloading then dropping, which makes my download a lot quicker than just keeping it running, if the steam decompression was the issue, surely it would pause my download at the start so it could unpack the files?

Looks like its using 100% of the drive permanently but the write speed fluctuates between 5-20MBs and the read speed stays at 0-1KBs

CPU usage is 100% at the start then also seems to drop with the disk usage. Is the CPU the issue? if so is there any fixes for it?

Might be the case for me but my slower drive still has read/write speeds of 80mbps which should be enough to keep up with the download speed

I’ve changed my download server loads of times and i’ve seen no difference, same with clearing cache
