“(ran while the queue is paused)” you mean I should run the test now that sabnzbd is idle? or “paused” as in when the whole lockup happens again?

When it's idle.

This is the first test:

Then I reduced newsserver connections from ~150 down to 90 and this happened:

I assume the disk bottleneck went away because of less concurrent cons/writes? How is that a new thing for me though since it never was an issue until a few months ago.

Could it be the SSD slowing down? It’s way over used at 4 Petabyte but Samsung Magician still says all good and all tests
show great values.

Even so, the write values above 59/57MB/s are low low. If I move files between the SSD and USB3 external drive I get consistant speeds of 120MB/s+. Nowhere near the 59ish shown.
