Review on 💻 CUK ASUS ROG Strix G17 Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB, 17.3-inch WQHD 165Hz, Windows 10 Home - 17 Inch Gamer Notebook by Don Taniguchi

Update: I've since returned it and got my money back, so at least the customer service is solid. The machine worked fine for 2-3 weeks and then starts using 100% SSD for basic tasks like opening a simple application, navigating Windows Explorer, etc. This is not temporary and will completely affect the performance of the machine. My control game loads a level in the Master Chief collection. Loading a Halo CE single player level takes 5 seconds before the issue occurs and approximately 30-40 seconds when it occurs. After that he works forever with insanely bad stuttering. SSD utilization at 90-100% at a meager 5-20MB/s. The problem does not go away with driver updates. I did a windows reset which fixed the problem for another 2-3 weeks and it came back. Absolutely disappointing how much money I paid for it. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It was a nightmare to deal with and try to fix it yourself. I haven't found a solution yet. In the attached screenshot, Steam is running and increasing usage to 100% while only using 20MB/s.
