Very Slow Read on RAID 0

[Androkiller]

Recently i noticed explorer was very slow on my computer all of a sudden after Creators update so I reverted back thinking that explorer was corrupted but this did not solve the issue.

I checked SMART status and the drives where ok, but then noticed when benchmarking my array the read speeds are stupidly slow compared to the write speeds.
So I have done the following:
I have updated Intel RST
Disabled Write-cache buffering
checked I have the latest BIOS version
Defraged
Verified the Drives via RST

Still i have not seen any improvement and i am not in the mood to nuke my setup any suggestions?

Crystal Disk results

HDD 1 ST1000DM003-1SB102 1TB
HDD 2 ST1000DX001-1NS162 1TB
Mobo Asus ROG Maximus Impact vii

FYI I have 2 arrays 1 HDD and 1 SDD (both raid 0). The ssd array is fine and is my boot array, just HDD array playing up.

SMART doesn't keep drives alive. It tells you WHEN it's about to die - something I know hasnt happened to these drives. They're brand new and have been SMART checked beforehand. Furthermore, Intel's RST does have SMART enabled. Drives are healthy.
