I'd check the Activity Monitor for processes with high CPU usage.
As for the system data taking up so much space, it could be anything really. I've noticed that log files can grow huge, depending on the logging configuration. In my case, multiple PHP-FPM instances would try to fire up constantly, resulting in dozens of error messages every minute. By the time I realized this, the log file size was almost 300GB.
