So this has happened on both my current gaming laptop and also on the laptop that I had before. If I try to install a game on the D drive with Steam, the download keeps stopping and starting, and when it does download, it goes very, very slowly. Downloading to that drive from other places, like Ubisoft, Epic and Game Pass, works perfectly fine. It's just Steam. Steam doesn't have any problems with my C, E or F drives.
I have a 500 GB NVMe C drive and the D is a 1.5 TB HDD 7200 rpm. The E and F drives are external SSDs.
I've done what Steam suggested and emptied the download cache, and I even went so far as to reformat the drive. I just don't get it.
