HDD running close to 100 when playing

[Message]

I was wondering if this is something anyone else has experienced? Before I was having problems with memory, but since I have fixed those problems, I suspect my game and computer are now crashing due to my high HDD percentage

you on an hdd? yeh... this will not work well. it will load stuff, but slowly, and eventually time out. an ssd is recommended for proper loading speed.

Hmm I haven't even looked at my HD usage when playing tbh, I have it on a normal HDD myself atm, too lazy to move it and it didn't feel like it was giving me issues but maybe I was mistaken I'll monitor it when I play next and report back if mine is doing the same.

SSD's 40x or more performace compared to HDD.

And that is not even looking at NVME SSD, themz are crazzy fast goodness.

Yes you are bottlenecked on hdd.
In my opinion it's the worst bottleneck. You don't actually need super fast nvme. But if your hdd is slightly too slow it just will affect everything

Cheap ssd could be enough. There is a lot of dmishing returns.

So I have an ssd and a hdd. Would my problem be resolved if I moved it over to the ssd?
