Downloads start off strong and reach my peak download speed (900mbps) but after some time it just comes to a halt, maxing out my SSD usage to 100% with very low write speeds, and it stays like this for basically forever. Now i know Steam uncompresses game files during downloads like these but my SSD stays at 100% with absurd response times like these for a loooooooong time, which doesn't look normal at all to me

A game that should take no longer than 20 minutes to download and install ends up taking 2 to 3 hours, my SSD peaks out at 100% with no apparent process causing this in task manager

  
**Specs:** 

**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D   
**SSD:** Silicon Power UD90 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME   
**GPU:** RX 9070 XT

I've built this PC less than 3 months ago, every component is practically brand new, I've tried: 

\- Disabling writing cache

\- Closing every single application in the background

\- Limiting download speeds/changing download server

\- Clearing download cache

\- [Tried the fix linked here](https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/6ciyje/comment/dhznvuv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) (worked momentarily but ultimately the issue came back)

SSD has over 400GB of storage left 

Very slow download/install speeds on steam/battlenet/xboxapp
