Very Slow Imports

[vanlazarus2013]

I'm getting extremely slow imports with WAV files into my project.  No matter which way I import a WAV, it takes up to 20 seconds to import one file.  Premiere freezes and shows the busy icon the entire time.

My system:

Windows 10

Intel i7-5960X @ 3ghz

32gb RAM

OS drive: Corsair 240gb SSD

Project drive: 7.2gb RAID 0 on 2x4tb WD Black Drives

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Yes, I can confirm it's running a hell of a lot better. That said, I just copied and pasted a video file from a sequence in one project to another project and have been waiting 10 minutes so far. I'm feeling a force quit coming on, but I'll wait a little longer.

Generally imports are a lot faster, swapping to different tools doesn't give me the rainbow wheel of death anymore and other than my current issue, I've been much happier over the last few days of cutting.

Well, I thought all was well, but I shouldn't have spoke so soon. Importing multiple files is still taking me upwards of 10 minutes now, and this is just music tracks.
