You do not have any hardware issues. This is clearly a software problem where there is something on your System slowing down the data writing process. We have never ever known an issue like this, which is uncommon, to be the result of Hardware itself. It is due to anti-malware /Antivirus software generally.

When the data is downloading, the user interface should be responsive. In the case of when downloading tick by tick data from IQ Feed, you may get an occasional hesitation of the user interface. But not much. That will be resolved when we use a background thread to write the data for IQ Feed. We do use a separate thread with our own services.

We use Intel SSD's on all of our servers and development systems and we have never had any issues with reaching a write limit with them. Even with intense writing.

If you can try another computer that is completely clean of antivirus type software. That's what we recommend trying. What you are experiencing is not normal.

Have a look at this log and the timestamps at the end to see the speed at which the data was downloaded on our system:
