Help with OBS - Stats tab 'Disk Space' is reading my second SSD and also getting frequent disconnects

I am pretty new to streaming/recording and have been using Streamlabs mainly. I just upgraded most of my PC components, and also went from Windows 10 to 11. I wanted to try using OBS instead of Streamlabs.

I noticed in my stats tab, my "Disk Space available" is reading my second SSD, while having OBS installed on my main drive. I have games on both drives, and have tried streaming both, but the tab always shows the second SSD.

I am getting pretty consistent disconnect/reconnects every 5-30 minutes. My stream will show no missed or skipped frames from lag, and no dropped frames on the network side, then it will suddenly go red and disconnect, then reconnect moments later. There are no hiccups in my internet speed or connection anywhere else when this happens. I did not have this problem before, when streaming with Streamlabs. I am using Wi-Fi 6E from my motherboard. The logs show that the network will start dropping frames (around 592 frames) then drop, and reconnect right after, but when these disconnects happen, there are no issues with my internet connection.

Any help on why my disk space is being read from my second drive, or these disconnects are happening would be appreciated. I know Wifi is not optimal and ethernet would be better, but I don't really have that option right now, and also I have not had this issue using with Streamlabs with my previous PC setup. My internet connection seems fine during these disconnects, nothing else skips or lags at all, just OBS.

PC components: i9 12900k - 3070 t i - z790 - DDR5 6000

This is a speed test done (while streaming live, game open and other streams open):

Okay so the disk space thing is due to my recording file path. I changed it back to a folder in C drive and now it shows that under the stats tab. I don't know if changing that file path does anything in terms of streaming, but I am currently live right now, testing my stream connection and its still dropping.

I ran a speed test the second the stream dropped and this is what it is, nothing else lags when this happens, the stream is the only thing that disconnects:

this is what it looks like right as it drops:
