How can i monitor my SSD's load or usage when under stress while botting or other stress tests?

I think my ssd is to blame for these 1-3 sec freezes i keep getting but have no idea how to check it.

keep getting 1-3 sec freezes on idividual clients, never all of them at same time. cpu is at 15% usage and ram is at 30%.

anyone wana try and help me troubleshoot it?
 
You can monitor your hard drives (or SSDs) through Windows.

Task manage > Performance Manager > Disk

If the usage of your SSD is always spiking to 100% whenever you get those drops, I'd say it's at fault. Though I'd get another opinion before you do anything.
 
there are spikes that look like its 100% maxing on the 100k/sec chart but then it swaps to 100mb/sec chart and it looks ok??

i dont see a % of hd usage on here, maybe im doing something wrong.

"One or more threads of Diablo iii.exe are waiting to finish network I/O" is this right?

also, why does my db log say "[18:15:06.308 D] OS Architecture: AMD64" with intel chip/mobo?


the clients freeze for 1+ sec and then fast forward to where they are supposed to be. on lower fps they freeze still and just warp or jitter around.

should i make seperate db folders for each client? would that help?
 
i sometimes have that too, man, haven't found out why.
amd64 just means its 64bits instead of 32, nothing to do with being intel or amd mobo.
 
It feels like to me the clients are fighting over the same resource because its never all of them at the same time and majority of the time its only 1 client.

I'm up for trying anything as it pretty much wrecks weapon swap on monk and causes deaths also.

only running 5 clients atm....

cpu 20% usage
ram 20% usage
fps 50 ....

i cant figure out whats causing it.

open task manager, click performance tab, click resource monitor, click disk tab, find your ssd drive on the right and watch for spikes.... if the spike happens when you get lagspike in diablo 3, I would check for some software from the ssd manufacturers website.
see if there is some kind of diagnostic tool available.

You basically just copy and pasted what I said.
 
2 days ago, on 1 of my computers, I started getting some weird lagg spikes whenever I run more than 6/8 clients (I was running 12 before that, without any problem).

Now, whenever I turn on more than 6, my dps drops to what visually seems to be ~3-5fps (or even less), diablos starts crashing, my computer start acting laggy, and my CPU is only at 30-50% and RAM is at 50-70%.

Funny thing is that I tried reinstalling diablo, formating C, disabling index catching on that hard disk, made separated copies of diablo for every launch, made separated DB folders, done almost everything, and then all of sudden, when I was out of ideas, I unplugged my SATA 3 connector from SATA 1 to SATA 2 slot, and it worked for few hours, and now, it's back to spikes again, and when I tried same trick with changing from one sata connector to another it failed.

I done almost everything that I can think of, and I'm thinking should I buy SSD for it (I'm using SATA 3 currently), but I don't think that will solve it, because it just started happening all of sudden, and it was working normally before that (I didn't change anything, and I didn't instal anything).

ive never experienced what its like to run 8+ w/o stutter. ive changed sata slots and made sure its a 6gb cable and everything. controller is up to date etc. this is literally the only thing giving me problems is this goddamn stutter freeze junk.

so frustrating.

im starting to think the random read/write on my drive is not fast enough to keep up with the loads of that many clients, but unsure. Kingston hyper-x 240gb black/silver rated 500/500 seq read/write.
