Disk management has been running extremely slow when loading the drives and now isn't showing at all and just crashes.

I have read elsewhere to run sfc /scannow - It came back saying there are corrupt files but unable to fix them and has logged them. What can I do from here? I have a SSD and 2x 4TB HDD's installed.

Hey there, Ashley_Davis!

I'd strongly recommend you use your HDD manufacturer's brand-specific diagnostic utility or a third-party testing tool alternative to determine the health and SMART status of your secondary drives. I'd also re-seat the SATA connections and even try out different SATA cables with the drives.
I'd also suggest you troubleshoot how Disk Management will load without the secondary drives connected to the motherboard. This way you will be able to find out if the issue is coming from them or not.

Keep us posted!
