Dear Community!
I will try to explain my problem / questions as detailed as possible.
The list might be long, sorry for that.
First, some pc specs used to explain:
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Hero.
Processor: Intel 6600K.
GPU: MSI GTX 1070.
SSD1 (Main OS) : 128gb OCZ-Vertex4
SSD2 (Games) : 500gb Samsung 850 Evo
HDD1 (Old Drive): 3TB Western digital red
HDD2 (New1) : 2TB Toshiba DT01ACA200
HDD3 (New2): 2TB Toshiba DT01ACA200
HDD1 was staring to show signs of dying. So I decided to add some new drives before it completely died. I bought two 2tb hdd's from toshiba and installed those in the PC.
At first, the new drives had a lot of issue's...
They had problems working with steam. When adding a library, steam would crash and bug out.
So I combined the 2 new drives into 1 RAID0 array. This solved some of the issues.
The drives worked faster now. But still crashed. When launching (for example) battlefield1, it would take AGES to load. But when I restart the PC, and restart, it was quick again.
My thoughts at this point: One of the drives is bad?
So I un-RAIDed(?) them, to have 5 different volumes.
When I tried to move a (~55gb) folder from my SSD2, to both the new drives, the following happened:

Both HHD2 and HHD3 would throttle to 100%, but would only move about ~25gb/s each...
Earlier I picked up some information about 4 drives being the maximum. So I disconnected HDD1 and tried the same test again:

Looking at this, I could see that:
E: moved around 100MB/s at about 80% to 90% Drive usage.
G: moved around 70MB/s at a constant 100% Drive usage.
Now finally the questions:
1. Is there a maximum of 5 Sata connections? (With 4 on intel controller, 1 on asmedia controller)
2. Is the HDD from Volume G: broken/failing?
I hope I explained enough, and that someone can help
Kind regards,
Kris
