Does an SSD slow down when it is full?
Hello, I have a total of one terabyte HDD and a 128 gigabyte SSD. My Windows 10 is already on the SSD. I'm now thinking about whether I should put Fortnite on the SSD or the HDD because I don't want my Windows to become slow because it's full. Afterwards there's about 12 GB left free. My question is, does the SSD become slow if there's only 5 GB or so free or does the speed stay the same? I once heard that HDDs get very slow and SSDs don't get any slower.

Yes, a SSD gets slower when it gets full.
From more than 75% utilisation, the SSD starts Losing power. In your case, this would be if the SSD has more than 96GB memory utilisation.
In itself, I would still try to install it on the SSD. In itself, however, I would recommend testing on which hard drive Fortnite performs better. (Although probably the SSD, it would not be able to garaniter).
Yes, an SSD can become slower if the memory is almost full. Little free space can reduce the write speed.
It would be better to install Fortnite on the HDD to keep enough space on the SSD for Windows and important programs. Optimum is 20ā25% free space on the SSD.

Until now I have neither stuck to my computer nor to my laptop (m2 ssd Ģs) that they have become slower.
This does not slow down the write and read speed.
Put the game on your SSD. Games should only be made on the SSD. Windows, of course. HDDs I would not really use today, except for NAS etc.
Yeah, she will.
Why would she slow down?
Your own experience?
Before you make such statements, you should be better informed.
Make your profile on “Profi”, but have 0 idea of the topic.
Why always become personal instead of simply presenting the facts…
Why should I know if I have the same SSD with 4GB free and my PC gets slower?
The problem with GF is, there is no way to verify the state of knowledge of someone safely. Here everyone can write what he wants to know. That’s why I don’t write anything about my qualification. “My” readers have to make themselves a picture of me on the basis of my contributions.
Conversely, I do not accept any answers, posts 1 to 1 for true, correct, but check for plausiblity.
Where was I? Or what was wrong with my statements?
This is just about Windows etc that they become “slower”. Technically speaking, the SSD is not slower. As you said above.
I’d rather try it with a factual explanation, correction.
That’s how people learn it. Listen to 1x something or suspect anything, but have no idea about it, but then make one omniscient and only give false statements.
Due to the lack of mechanics, all SSD memory cells are always accessible at the same time, no matter how many memory cells are occupied. What, depending on the quality of the SSD, is that write actions in large files in particular become slower. Up to a certain size, files are placed in a fast cache. If the file is larger than the cache, then the write speed drops. Very similar to a HDD.
It’s not your hard drive, it’s your system.
Why do you think the reading and writing speed should be reduced?
Enter this in CMD:
winsat disk -seq -read -drive C
and
winsat disk -seq -write -drive C
After that you will notice that your reading and writing speed is still the same.
Hello,
SSDs are actually getting slower when they are (almost) full. Reason:
LG
Yeah, that’s it.
