In short I suspect the drive is faulty as off signing into windows the drive is at 100% usage and just sits at 100% usage with latency from that drive getting worse to the point where the system is freezing up on the most basic tasks and I have to force shutdown the PC to just be able to use it. I do intend to replace all my drives soon. Strangely on the rare occasion it isn't bottlenecking my whole PC it gets good read/write speed of around 1Gbps - 1.5Gbps
 
Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Look in Reliability History/Monitor for error codes, warnings, or even informational events being captured just before or at the time of the system freezes.

And if a drive is suspect you should immediately ensure that all important data stored on that drive has been backed to another location away from the host computer.

Be sure to verify that all backups are recoverable and readable.

Will do the backup in a minute (currently running error checking on the drive)
I do intend to get new drives to replace these drives as I did check reviews for them and the reviews weren't great.
I also intend to get a new RAM Kit 2x32GB 5600 and mobo (z790)
Will update with the Reliability Monitor result once it has made the report.


The 500GB has around 60GB storage space left - Appears as my C: drive which is normally fine
The 2TB has around 600GB - 700GB storage space left - Appears as my D: drive - the drive constantly at 100% I suspect causing the issues
The 4TB is empty unused currently - Appears as my E: drive
 
Failed the Error Check and over the past few days in the reliability history it has gone worse. Failed to error check due to:
Chkdsk was executed in a scan mode on volume snapshot

Checking File System on D:
The shadow copy provider timed out whilst flushing data to the volume being shadow copied.
This is probably due to excessive activity on the volume. Try again later when the volume is not being used so heavily.
