As title states my SSD active time at 100% practically for no reason.
I tried reinstalling windows 11 first, and it helped for a while but approximately after 1h it started running at 100% again.
When resetting pc at first everything works as normal, usage is normal everything is ok but out of nowhere after some short time it spikes to 100% (it is not reading or writing anything it just is at 100%)
#Disk usage at 100% while doing nothing

It starts normally everything is fine, programs turn on fine but approximately after 1 minute SSD active time goes to 100% and its impossible to do anything
At this point I'm just sitting watching it and waiting for a miracle

I tried re...
Did the ssd calm down...by now?

Nope no idea what is causing it, I will try reinstalling windows once again but this this time I will leave all updates alone (including driver ones)

could you go into task manager, click on disk and screenshot like this
also after looking at reddit, SPCC SSD's (which i think is silicon power) arent that reliable

i reformated SSD and reinstalled windows, also i held back windows and drive updates together with other "bloatware" software and installed only basic stuff.
for now everything seems ok like last time, time will tell if it worked

from what i found
SPCC SSD A55 512gb

yes

Its DRAM-less SATA, unfortunately performance on these can be dreadful and experiences like yours are common
Not the best option for an OS drive these days

hmm seems like i will have to invest into something better, still i dont believe it should do that since health is at 100%
but it is 1h after 2nd windows reinstall and everything seems to be going ok so far

Can be windows index service.

Disk utilization on a DRAM less drive has absolutely nothing to do with the health of the NAND Flash... It's the way DRAM less drives are designed. Some M.2 NVMe DRAM less drives are okay as boot drives. I don't know if any SATA based drives that are though.

Problem returned as you mention guys it most likely is a faulty SSD, does anyone have a recommendation for a good SSD? (Motherboard: ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0)
manic sequoia
personally i recommend 512 gb m.2 nvme
you can go higher or lower in storage space if you want to since its recommended for boot device
your motherboard seems to have 1 m.2 port and its for 2280 size

will Samsung 980 500 GB be good enough?

will Samsung 980 500 GB be good enough?
really good
you can go for cheaper options as well
bt dont go too cheap
speed is ok
i mean
this is good
since its boot drive make sure its quality drive

yup, today new SSD came, already installed W11 on it and everything works just fine
old SSD however looks totally done for since even using it lightly (adding some folder with pictures into it) makes it run on 100% active time
