    It depends somewhat on where the games are storing their local data. Most, if not all, Predator Helios 500 SKUs have both a SSD and a HDD installed. The former is much faster than the latter, but also a fair amount smaller. With a SSD the percentage of storage left doesn't really affect it's speed, with a HDD it can affect the speed significantly. Where are you at currently with the drives?

    Try moving some of your more static data, like music, videos or documents off to the HDD to free up some space on the SSD. If that doesn't help much bring up properties on the SSD and do a Disk Cleanup.
