Synology disk utilization 100% when downloading/unpacking

When I download using Sabnzbd (also tried Nzbget same problem) my NAS slows down. When I check the resource monitor the disk utilization is 100%.

In order to solve this problem I bought an NVMe SSD (Volume2) and use it as a volume. I moved all docker containers to Volume2 disk. Every path in Sabnzbd is points towards Volume2.

Here comes the weird part. When this problem occurs Volume2 disk utilization is about 20% but Volume1 (HDD) is 100%.

Does anyone know how this is possible? I checked the processes in the resource monitor but they don’t show which process causes this.

Did you have enough Article Cache setup? Because it could be using your volume1 if your sabnzbd.ini is stored there.
This you can see in the first page of the Config.

Thank you for your reply. Just to make sure I mounted the config folder to my ssd folder even though the container should be installed on the SSD also. Unfortunately it did not resolve the problem..
