SSD or MOBO failure ?

[HowToWasteMyTime]

I've had a problem that my SSD spikes to 100% usage and my pc freezes for like 10-20 sec, and then the usage drops to normal 1-2% and everything works fine. I tryed everything, but didnt help. In the end i took an old Nvme out of my laptop and used it as boot device, and kept the other ssd. Now i dont have any freezing problems in windows, only if i open a game from my old SSD, sometimes the game freezes for 10-20 sec, but i can Alt+Tab and browse my newsfeed till the game works again. So its ether a faulty SSD or my Mobo Sata connectors are not good ? I dont know...This is my first pc build and i can say its not plug and play like i tought..

 

Ryzen 2600

Sapphire vega 56

2x8 GB 3000 mhz g.Skill Aegis

MSI Tomahawk b450 

SSD Kingston 480 GB (old boot drive)

Nvme Samsung Evo 960 250 GB (new boot drive)

600W Be Quiet! 80+ bronze

Well i tryed how fast they are. This is my Samsung Nvme, and this is my Kingston SSD.

Any program i can use? I had HDsentinel i think, and the drive was on 99% health at first, and after a week or so it was on 98%. But my current nvme is also on 98% so i didnt think much of it..

HDDScan will show SMART info. DO NOT RUN SURFACE OR WRITE TESTS, as these will erase the disk. Only click on smart info display.

I would try this command in command prompt 

wmic diskdrive get status

Hmmm. Strange, HDDScan does not seem to like it (most result come back blank?). But the SMART seems to be reporting "OK". Does Kingston do drivers for it? Might be worth updating them.
