Regarding dedicated SSD option: When I run Sierra without simultaneously running my Thinkorswim platform, I'm essentially dedicating that SSD to my Sierra Platform. NO other programs are running as I don't even have any other programs installed on my computer because I use it only for trading. The 3-5 second freezing still occurs when Sierra is the only program running on my current SSD. One other symptom I forgot to report is that at one point Sierra Platform froze and 'ghosted' white while I got the spinning blue circle. Now, this ghosting ONLY occurred on my Sierra platform and not my Thinkorswim or on any other screens.

Since the freezing issue occurs when I essentially already have only Sierra dedicated to my current SSD it seems installing another SSD my might not be the fix? Is there another route we can explore before I spend the money and time on yet another SSD?

My current SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB Solid State Drive - 550MB/s
Other Basics: CPU : Intel Core i7 6700K - 4 Cores, 8 Threads - 4.50 GHz OC Included - 8MB Cache - 14nm Skylake
Motherboard : Gigabyte Z170 Chipset - USB 3.1 & Type-C, SATA Express, DDR4 Support, Ultra-Durable Line
RAM : 24GB DDR4 RAM - 2400 MHz

Thank you
