Hard drive 100% when Render

I have three hard drive, a 250G SSD, 1TB HDD ,1TB SSD, I first install my Daz inside HDD, and then I realize somehow when I render, the HDD drive always reach 100% and cause computer lag, so I move all Daz program and Content library to my 1TB SSD, try to solve the problem.
But somehow even HDD didn't have any Daz file anymore, still get 100% usage on HDD while rendering (by "System") , I wonder if there some setting I haven't change can fix this?

How much system memory do you have? What you discribe sounds like you are running out of memory and renderer is using virtual memory.
Yes it is, I'm an idiot, I just realize my 16G ram all burn out while rendering, maybe is time to upgrade the ram, or is there any tech to reduce render ram cost?
