Data carrier/Storage medium usage

[Retro_327]

Hello, I have a question regarding my data usage. Earlier I went to my task manager and saw that my overall data usage is on 50%, when I clicked to ''performance'', I saw that my HDD disk was at 100% and SDD at 0-5%.

Now the HDD jumps from 0-50% from time to time and the overall usage stays between 1-50%, I think mostly 5-10%.

Is it normal or do I have to do something?

Data Carrier is your internet???

Sounds like your HDD write speed is only about half as fast as your internet.

Since 300Mb/s is odd for data carrier speeds, perhaps that is your wifi speed? 7200 RPM HDDs don't tend to be able to do better than 150Mb/s, so this sounds normal.

Unless your data carrier is a cellular data carrier, then you likely can download faster if you switch to Ethernet and download to the SSD. If the connection is shared with other devices, then those other devices may be affected, thus for many this is the desired result.
