Thanks, that actually makes a lot of sense regarding the drives processor hanging.
Looking into this more I noticed a view other things.
-All 3 drives were installed at the build of this system yet the faulty drive has 7 hours less of uptime than the other 2 drives.
-When starting up HWinfo upon system boot it takes over 3 minutes for the sata scan to complete and it also keeps HWinfo from starting up. Starting HWinfo 5 minutes into the sytems uptime you'd never notice as it would start instantly.
-Sometimes HWinfo does not find the drive yet I can access it just fine in windows. I Just dumped a 140GB large sized folder on it while the drive was not detected in HWinfo.
-when the drive is detected in Hard disk sentinel its not detected in HWinfo.
The most annoying thing about troubleshooting this is that the entire metal plate covering all 3 M.2 drives has to be removed along with the GPU to access any of them. The 3 thermal pads together glue the metal heatsink to the drives quite firmly so I have to be careful everytime not to rip the drives out of the socket by wedging a thin piece of plastic under there to keep them down.
