wanneerniet Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 While downloading games with Steam (at 150Mbit/s) I noticed that the secondary HDD almost doesn’t seem to be able to keep up. The disk utilization easily reaches 100% which causes the download speed to drop to 0 until it’s done installing the files. Could any of you confirm this is happening on your Corsair ONE as well? To check disk processor usage, open the Task Manager and click the Performance tab. Then keep an eye on what it says for the second drive (probably D) while downloading a game to it. The M.2 drive does not exhibit this behavior, obviously. All diagnostics report the drive is functioning normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC_ONE Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I can hopefully check this over the weekend for you, if others haven't done so by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to be able to confirm this sooner though, so if anybody else has their system handy please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanneerniet Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Could someone give this a try? This is the screen you’re looking for, just it’s the D drive on the Corsair ONE: (not my image) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC_ONE Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hi Wanneerniet, I performed a 4.49GB transfer over my local (wired, gigabit ethernet) network to my secondary dive, "Disk D", which is a standard 2.5" 5400 RPM platter based hard drive, not a flash based drive. This is the mid-transfer screenshot. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need a different type of test. Also, please note...this is not my "new" Corsair One Pro, which is arriving on Monday (Eastern Time USA). It's my Corsair One Pro with a video graphics issue which may or may not be having PCIe bus issues. It's set to PCIe v2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanneerniet Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 That looks very similar. It gets annoying when you’re playing a game while another is downloading and installing; it locks up the system while it’s maxed out. Not something that we can fix probably, but maybe an issue Corsair wants to look into for the next revision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted October 17, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 17, 2017 Steam typically disables game downloads during gameplay for precisely this reason. Unless you're running your games off of an SSD, the drive can't handle being thrashed like that and your load times go through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanneerniet Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 I just got my Corsair ONE back and tested this again. It appears that encyrpting the drive with BitLocker might've caused the issue. Without BitLocker enabled the drive gets pretty busy, but only peeks at 100% for a second before dropping down again.
