Can you show HDtune health section?
Were any downloads running on that drive during benchmarking?
Is there anything else on that drive (other than 2 games)?
Is system protection turned on for that drive (Control Panel/System/System Protection)? You should disable it on non-OS drives.

No downloads or programs were running on the drive at the time
The only things on that drive is Battlefeild 4, Planetside 2 and the steam folder planet side 2 is installed in
and system protection is off on that drive



 
Health looks good.
Only explanation for such performance issues would be some background disk activity going on.

Can you check it with Resource Monitor?
Open Disk tab, Disk Activity section, order it by column Total, make file names fully visible and
post screenshot.
It should look similar to this:
