This is a follow up to a previous question.

After more investigation it appears that I have a slightly different problem, whenever I do any volume of disk based activity like copying files or backing up sql databases, My disk usage in task manager goes to 100% and average io response times go up to >4000ms often > 10000ms.

This slows my whole machine down to a crawl and any activity like opening a program, doing a build of our software etc slows to a crawl.

Now I have an SSD hybrid drive in the machine and that doesn't seem to have improved matters, I have done crystal disk health checking and bench marking in my previous ticket.

Is there anything I can do or do I have to put up with this. Its my work machine and I frequently have this problem and its really irritating.

  • A driver problem for an input/ouput device could cause this problem The best way to determine if you have a driver problem is to benchmark the i/o behavior and simotaniously benchmark the memory usage on drivers.

  • How would you benchmark the memory usage on the drivers, simply using process explorer – Ben Whyall Jul 08 '16 at 14:39
  • You don't you would use other tools. [Windows 8 extremely high disk usage and slow IO](http://superuser.com/questions/591250/windows-8-extremely-high-disk-usage-and-slow-io?rq=1) – Ramhound Jul 08 '16 at 14:43
  • I've had a look as I currently have IO issues due to tar running on a large file and nothing stands out in memory usage and its staying fairly constant – Ben Whyall Jul 08 '16 at 14:54
