The problem

A server can have a fast CPU but still feel slow when storage latency is high.

Recommended approach

Check disk queue, latency, free space, RAID health and backup or antivirus activity.

Step-by-step checklist

  1. Check free disk space.
  2. Measure disk response and queue length.
  3. Review RAID/controller alerts.
  4. Check scheduled backup and scanning windows.
  5. Replace failing media or redesign storage when evidence supports it.
