Sure this can be the case if your have an OLD mechanical disk (HDD)
Not really the case if you only have SSD's and M2 SSD's..
But ofc a bad SSD can cause lots of interuppts and ask for priority in the Foreground but its not a common thing that the SSD would cause it. I still encourage everyone at least try this once for sure.
But in general if you have an OLD Mechanical Disk (HDD) its 100% worth a try.

IMPORTANT:
This subforum is for advanced users only. This separate area is for niche or unexpected lag issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI, EMF, electrical, radiofrequency, etc). Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Re: Unplug your Hard drive
My computer case is the pc-o11-dynamic XL and I have 4 hard drives installed behind the motherboard at the CPU level. I did remove of all them, reinstall Windows, and did the test, the game was perfect for a few hours until I decided to install all AMD chipset Drivers, Audio Driver, and Nvidia new driver, and back to the floaty mouse, getting shot before seeing the enemy........
Re: Unplug your Hard drive
Windows disables unused devices like HDDs automatically after you stop using them for a couple minutes (only if you stopped running programs from the HDD)... I guess its another placebo post.
