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