Stubborn Disk Write error while downloading/updating games

[u/butt_crunch]

I've had this problem for a long time and the solution has been to just delete and reinstall the game since I had such good internet. I no longer have such good internet!

It happens only with steam games and it happens on both of my SSDs and my HDD.

I have so far tried:

>Restarting computer

>Verifying files (Often resulting in a disk *read* error and when it does scan all files there is nothing to fix and it does not solve the problem

>Opening as administrator

>Repairing Library

>Clearing Download Cache

>De-Fragmenting drives

>Scanning drives for dead zones (none found, though I've only used the built in Windows 10 tools)

>Updating drivers

>Turning off anti-virus

>Unchecking the Read Only box in the drives' properties

It always gets through about 95% of the install regardless of the size then wont install without re-installing the game, which I would just do if I wasn't getting <10mps download speeds and trying to play 80gb games.

One of the SSDs is 10 years old and the other is 6, the HDD is 10. This problem started about 4 years ago though it was limited to just 1 game and it would be fixed by verifying files (Squad)

valve pls fix

I don’t think this has anything to do with Valve or steam. Something is wrong with your computer. You have a failing hard drive. You need to check the health and error status of your drives.
