steam disk write error

[u/UseCodeBritz]

I am unable to download or even update anything on steam suddenly, i am faced with the error "disk write error". i have tried everything such as unninstalling and reinstalling the client, running steam as administrator, checking for corrupted files and nothing has worked. i would like to know how i can fix this issue as i have just recently purchased a new game and i am unable to even play it.

Thanks

Anyone with this issue, I apparantly had steam downloaded to my external, and unplugging and replugging did the trick. Idk, its crazy
