Hey folks,
I’m at my wits end with this one. I am getting frequent, long IO pauses on my machine. These pauses last for 30-45 seconds and happen every 1-2 minutes. I can trivially reproduce any time I run CrystalDiskMark. These IO pauses do not happen on my OS’s NVME SSD, only on the magnetic spinning drives connected via SATA. I’ve updated my bios and installed all the latest drivers and nothing fixes it.
OS: Happens in Windows 11 Pro and Windows Server 2022
Drives: 4xSeagate EXOS 16GB. I’ve tried them using mobo raid 10, individual disks, windows jbod, windows raid 1, and windows raid 0 and it has no effect.
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 Gaming DDR4
CPU: Intel i5-12600K
RAM: 32GB Crucial DDR4 3200
given what I’ve tried, I’m beginning to wonder if there’s an issue with my SATA controller.
I’ve attached IO graphs from windows performance monitor. As you can see, all IO queues up and then stops.
any help is very much appreciated!
