i5-3570k CPU paired with P8Z77-V Pro board, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, Corsair Vengeance RAM, EVGA 1080 GPU, ultra X4 850W power supply. Four drives labeled "Kingston 480 GB SSD NVMe 300V" are connected in RAID 0. Windows 10 x64 is up to date, BIOS also current. SATA controller appears functional. Freezing occurs when moving large files (around 1GB+), downloading, or copying data. CPU usage stays around 50%, disk usage near 20%. After some time, CPU drops to ~5% and disk usage spikes to 100%. Programs freeze completely. Games like Elden Ring, heavily modded Skyrim, Monster Hunter World run without issues. 3D modeling in Fusion 360 or Inventor works fine. Attempts: reinstalling Windows, switching RAID settings (1 & 5), fresh OS install on all SSDs, testing RAM health. All drives show >97% usage. Files transfer smoothly between laptop and SSDs. I’m struggling to resolve this and need suggestions. Thanks!

Purchase an inexpensive PCIe SSD controller, connect your drives to it (you might need to reinstall Windows... based on whether the card can boot), and run a test again.

Through several attempts, I think the SATA controller overheated and triggered an error. I attached some 40mm fans to circulate air over my board and the controller. Restarted it to raid 0 mode. No problems transferring files larger than 100 GB yet. Thanks Radium_Angel for the advice—it helped me consider the cooling fan on the controller versus mine. I’ll mark this resolved unless it fails again.
