is my sata controller going?

[xdeathshot20]

so i just tried to extract a file on my ssd to my ssd.  the issue is that it was incredibly slow and when i say slow i mean slow.  it was running sometimes at less the 100kb per second.  the ssd in question is a samsung 860 evo.  also the transfer would freeze sometimes for like 5 seconds or so.  the ssd is only like 2 months old and i havent had any issues until now.  usally when i extract files, they go right away but not tonight which is getting me thinking since i had a similar issue with my last motherboard that it may be the sata controller or my ssd.  not too sure.  let me know so i can figure out if i need to get a new mobo.  thanks  also not too sure if this has anything to do with it but even when empytying the recycle bin, it is also slower then normal.  i also checked my internet connection and that it is fine.

I would try formatting your SSD before you jump to replacing the whole motherboard.

Well, you could run something like Crystal Disk Info to see if the SSD has any problems... could be a manufacturing defect.
