This is an issue I started noticing recently in Cubase 13 that according to the Steinberg forums goes as far back as Cubase 8, or even further to 2013.
Regardless of Cubase version, project location of SSD, or any audio settings changes, if you open a new empty project, add an audio track, and click anywhere in the playhead, the disk cache meter will overload briefly. So I wanted to set up a poll to see how common this occurrence is for Cubase users.
I will share some of the forum posts I've seen already.
Please vote Yes if you get the spike, or No if you do not. It would also be helpful to post if you do and which version of Cubase you are using, your OS, and if you have noticed it previously, when you first noticed it.
Thank you!

Cubase disc cache spike NIGHTMARE
About a month ago I began experiencing a bizarre issue in Cubase. If an audio track exists in Cubase (even an empty session, even if it's not record-enabled), my disc cache meter spikes any time I move the locator forward/backward or anywhere on the transport timeline. This occurs when any audio...
