Initial download proceeds smoothly but slows significantly afterward
You're experiencing slow and unstable Steam downloads that seem inconsistent. It appears the speed drops unexpectedly, while the SSD usage stays high without progress. This is different from your experience with Epic Games, where speeds and storage are stable. The issue might be related to network conditions, background processes, or hardware performance. You may want to check your internet connection, close other applications, and consider restarting Steam or your PC to see if the problem persists.
Avez-vous un autre disque en cours d'utilisation ? Un disque dur classique pourrait suffire. Il semble que vous manquiez de cache sur l'SSD, ce qui aggrave le problème. La meilleure solution serait d'ajouter un disque à votre système pour servir de cache de téléchargement des jeux. Un disque de 1TB coûterait environ 10 à 20 dollars et vous permettrait de garder les jeux toujours rapides. Si vous souhaitez un disque plus grand, n'hésitez pas. L'espace de stockage reste utile. Pour la configuration de Steam, allez dans Paramètres - Stockage et choisissez le disque désiré pour vos jeux et indiquez où placer le cache de téléchargement. Bonne chance !
The problem didn’t occur with the SSD itself; it’s likely a software-related issue within Steam.
It seems Epic Games is handling the download smoothly at very high speeds, reaching 50GB with sustained rates above 700 Mbps throughout. The storage device appears capable of retaining that much data over time, showing usage around 125MB/s and 70MB/s respectively in the task manager and games. Steam reported only about 10 MB/s, which might be misleading. A normal reading from Crystal Disk Mark also confirmed this behavior.
