Did you ever find a solution for this? I have a new out of the box 7050 i7 16GB Windows 10 Professional with Raid 1 (7200 rpm) and it’s dog slow. Initial windows updates took over 10 hours and finally just got stuck. A system recovery didn’t help and simple tasks such as starting SupportAssist send the disks to 100% utilization and the app never launches. I see some improvement by disabling the second disk from the BIOS, but the system is still sluggish.
We didn't find any resolution to the locking up other than to set the caching to Write-Through. If it is set to disabled, the system will be extremely slow and if it is set to Write-Back it will be unstable. My recommendation is to set the caching to Write-Through and make sure to let the RAID array initialize fully before trying to update or use the computer. You can monitor the initialization from the Intel RST software in Windows.
We ended up replacing the hard drive with SSD in our 7050.
