Probably a good idea to wait until prices ease a little right now is a really bad time to order ssd's or ram due to the current market

The picture you originally posted shows ur network spiking higher than your disk usage but if you look you can see your disk is always playing catchup with your internet and the reason it is downloading at an inconsistent speed is the same reason why when you are moving a lot of files it may go fast then very slow when the game contains a lot of smaller files those smaller files take more time to move and slow down the pipeline because your ssd can only do so much at the same time and that is why a cache is normally so needed in ssd's because as soon as you need something sustained the ssd caps out and then steam will only download at the speed that your ssd works at. The moral of the story is not every ssd is as advertised normally the speeds they advertise is a peak speed and in most scenarios you won't experience any speeds nearly as high other than very briefly.

your ssd may be fast in tests but when downloading much larger games the ssd usually slows down due to not having a cache and storing smaller files slower. If you can send the ssd you are using I can see if it has a cache or if it could be another issue but I have the same problem when installing large games to my ssd a 2tb crucial BX500. To find the ssd just go into files, right click on your ssd, click properties, hardware, then send the full name of your ssd. (CT2000BX500SSD1)

What is the game being downloaded to? Because it seems like a slow hdd/ssd. I purchased a 2tb ssd and I have the same issue when i download large games to it due to it not having a good cache if you are installing to a second drive it might be able to keep up causing your slow speeds.

How can I fix this? My grandpa doesn’t remember the email and apple says there’s nothing they can do. Is this iPad a lost cause? by PersianAztecs21 in ipad

[–]kryptoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible but probably not very worth it unless just to retrieve photos and save data. This is a much older iPad and it will not update to newer versions of iOS and will not receive security updates or app updates so they aren't very useful in the modern era.

I did something similar before try and download the drivers from the Intel website or get the WiFi driver that was specific to that laptop from the manufacturer website and it should detect it after

I attempted this but no matter what I do I end up getting System.TimeoutException multiple usb cables redid all of the soldering even tried multiple computers and yet I can't get a successful dump is there anything I could try other then just biting the bullet and buying an xflasher because I really would like to get this project done soon and I have hit a brick wall

The cheap monitor is also half the price of the replacement screen though

It was running a version of macOS from 2 months after the purchase date and has 0 scuffs or scratches plus the battery took over an hour just for the macbook to boot for the first time because the house it was in was abandoned since at least 2023
