Random 100% SSD usage spikes freeze computer for 15-30 seconds
I've been having an issue with my computer for the last couple of months where it randomly freezes (could be simply using Word or playing any game), I've been trying to find a solution but I've been unsuccesful.
Whenever it happens, the task manager shows a 100% usage for the SSD without any real indication of what could be causing it:
Debating on buying another SSD to see if that fixes it.
Also, I found a post from 2016 with the same problem but I couldn't make Intel RST work on my PC

Experiencing random spikes in SSD usage that cause your computer to freeze for 15-30 seconds can be frustrating. This issue may be caused by various factors, including background processes, firmware problems, driver issues, or hardware health.
