Very slow second M.2 SSD on initial loads

[Tombles]

Hi all

I purchased a WD Blue 3D NAND M.2 SSD about 2 months ago and it has been fine until approx. a week ago when suddenly games that were installed onto this SSD were not loading. If I try to go into the SSD it will take an age to load each folder I want to go into. It could be minutes until it has fully loaded. Once it has all loaded in then it is fine.

I have tried optimising it, installing new firmware, running WD health software and even reformatted it but nothing has solved this issue.It shows up in BIOS fine and nothing picks up any problems but if I do try and scan an issue before it has fully loaded in then it will just hang and not respond.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Maybe try and make sure all the motherboard drivers are up to date and your on the latest bios.

could always try a bios reset, if you run any speed tests on the drive what results do you get?
