Not enough disk space to record an encoder error.

Hello, I know I 've seen alot of post about this here but my own problem is quite more interesting, atleast I think so. So when I try to record my own gameplay or even my screen it happens that I get those 2 error from obs about not enough space on my HDD and encoder error. I notice that those 2 are somehow tied up and it only happens when I have my recording path saved to that specific drive. And sometimes the everything works just fine no problem, it like glitches or something because one time I can record as long as I want and other time I get the same error after a few moments. When I record to my C drive(m.2 nvme) everything was ok. but as soon as I try to record to my F(now A) drive obs just flips a coin every time. adding my previous day's log file to see when it had that issue. Thank you if you can provide any help here

Mind sharing some details on your A: drive? That isn't a real floppy disk drive, I presume?

No it's 1TB seagate barracuda HDD, at default when I updated to windows 11 I made this drive F but when obs started doing that fun thing to me I tried to change letters to A.
 
Which you believe has plenty of free space left?
17:11:10.464: Recording stopped because of low disk space

yes even obs stats itself shows that this drive has almost 800 GB free space left. It's rly coinflipy, right now it's fine and other times it just cancels after a few minutes of recording
 
Sounds like a dodgy/failing hard drive. Either a QA issue, or possibly a clone/fake. It's common for Shenzhen Specials to report a large drive size, but only have 10% or less actual capacity. Could also be the SATA controller failing, but that's a worse problem as it can't just be swapped out if it's integrated with the motherboard.

Recommend running something like CrystalDiskMark over it.

ok I'll try to run disk checkup. And I don't think disk would be failing because I used this particular drive as my games drive until I decided to upgrade to m.2 and add aditional sata ssd for games and left this drive for vods. Before that upgrade this drive was almost full
