Recently I purchased an SSD from EBuyer.

After Installing this SSD beside my current 2Tb HDD, I formatted both drives and installed windows 7 onto the SSD. I continued to install my required drivers, and began to play some games.
I started to notice that at random intervals, the disk usage of ALL drives would drop to 0%, and the computer would halt. (cursor still moving)
And it would then shoot back up again to the required percentage (This halt could last anywhere from a couple of seconds to 1m)
I have tried the following methods to fix this:
Disable some of intel rapid storage's stuff
Uninstall possible programs causing it (skype, winrar, chrome)
The only thing that comes to mind is to re-format tomorrow and do it all again, see if the issue persists
Any ideas?
Here is one of the many crashes:

Install the latest chipset drivers, and storage drivers. For Intel it's usually called Intel rapid storage. For AMD it comes with the chipset drivers.
I would also check the health of the drive using this tool linked below. Look under attributes, and see if there are errors on the device.

If any of the entry's under attributes glow red, then it's time to RMA the drive.
Apart from the SSD having problems, did you apply any of those "protips" tweaks to your W7 installation with regards to drive cache and paging? It seems like a good idea, but I remember W7 doesn't handle disabling it very well. Fucking BSOD all the time after a few minutes of streaming a YouTube video.
