The system may experience a corresponding slowdown when loading a dual-partition hard drive.

Question

In the case of the system loading the non-bootable SSD containing the NTFS file system and EXT4 file system, there is a certain probability that the system is globally stuck, among them, the resource manager is the main stuck condition, followed by the device manager, the solid state drive is removed and it will return to normal, the initial solution is to uninstall the driver with the problem, although there is a high probability that it will be accessible, but there is a certain probability that the problem will recur, and the system is otherwise normal, The SSD can be used normally on Ubuntu systems without any lagging behavior. At the same time, the hard disk will keep flashing the status light, until it stops flashing when it loads normally or is stuck and cannot be loaded, everything is normal about the situation of the single-partition USB flash drive, I want to know if there is any other solution in addition to the above driver uninstallation method, thank you, and, what can be accessed is the NTFS partition, which is also stuck, and Windows Explorer just shows that this partition is stuck.

Hi diminstor A,

Thanks for your post. Based on my research, fragmentation is the likely culprit, SSDs work off TRIM in which it's constantly reording the drives for optimal performance, regardless of data structures (partitions).

You can force a trim update.

The other thing that could have happened is that your OS files got moved around.

It could be that your paging system was part of the unused drive.

I'd start with a forced trim, don't use defrag, and then work through an elevated command prompt:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

This will force windows to verify the integrity of the file system and update anything that's not the way it should be.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
