I did not see this problem on 9538, using Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro on VMWare Player. Write only.

You may try to use resource monitor to double check.

I'm on Windows 8.1's "Resource Monitor" does not see the situation, but in the "Task Manager" to open the Advanced field, you can see the phenomenon. See screenshot.

In this 10 computers in Win7 and Win 8.1 "Task Manager" has the phenomenon. Sec read about 2MByte, write 1MByte second.

I have tried to update to the 9538 version of the client, but the situation is still there.

I only see the softether reading the disk when connected to VPN, but it stops after disconnecting.
I actually see the softether vpn client both reads and writes when connected to a VPN server.

I see the situation and you can see, this is not a BUG?

I think this is a design problem, not a bug, because the software actually runs correctly.

Currently, CPU usage, memory usage, hard disk usage, no problem, but this is the amount of disk reads daily, horror!

Recommended solve this problem, otherwise unsuspecting users will question whether the client has a hidden Trojan.

I have to use "FILEMON" software, found that the client software, it seems that every second will check your hard drive "C:" The remaining space, but the way NTFS format seems to calculate the remaining space, 2MB of hard drive will read NTFS Table, so causing the client to read the status of 2MB per second.

But I could not find anything that can shut down, the client software second "Check your hard drive free space function" switch.

I have no idea about that, but in fact, I/O may not refer to disk drive every time.

Previously, I used other "P2P software" are using this function, the improper use of monitoring software if the hard disk.

Based on my experience, the VPN client software, I read the "maximum value" of.
