This is being exported with the Pr Youtube 4k preset that comes with Pr. 16% room left on my hard drive.

Hard Drive: Seagate BarraCuda 6TB Internal Hard Drive HDD - 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache

GPU: RTX 2060 Super

System:

I have no idea what to do, but I know this isn't normal.

Is that the ONLY disk that you have in your entire desktop PC? You see, a single HDD that's used for everything is woefully insufficient. In fact, performance-wise, that single HDD cannot sustain even 90 MB/s in overall disk I/O throughput when tasked with simultaneous reads and writes. And since that disk is only 16% free, that concurrent disk I/O throughput drops even further - to around 32 MB/s! You need a second disk, preferably a solid state drive (SSD).

I have other disks - plus several new externals that have not been opened. My main OS disk is SSD, but that's all that's on there is my OS and software. I have another external SSD I could clear out and use solely for exports. Would that work? Or do I need to have the whole project on the SSD?
