Morning,
I've run into a new issue that I've not run across before. Trying to do a Diff Backup on a fairly large database(1 tb)
and receiving ASYNC_IO_COMPLETION WAIT TYPE. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Both MDF and LDF files are on the same drive. I've verified with the sys admin that this drive is a premium SSD Drive.

If this is causing the backups to take longer than they should - you could setup the XE event and gather the same information to provide to your server/storage team to show them.
Also - are these backups using compression?
