What is a Disk Write Error on Steam?
A Disk Write Error on Steam is pretty much what it sounds like - it's an error that pops up when Steam can't write game files to your storage drive. This could be because of a problem with your hard drive, permissions issues, or even something blocking Steam from doing its thing, like your antivirus. So, if Steam's trying to update or install a game and hits a snag, you might see this error.

Honestly, it's usually just a sign to check if your hard drive's failing or you've run out of space. Make sure to give your drive a quick health check or see if it's time for a cleanup.
Most of the time, it's your antivirus getting a bit too protective and blocking Steam. Try disabling it temporarily or adding Steam as an exception to your antivirus settings. Worked for me!
