Black framea

Hey everyone,
any bigger nerds here than me?

I’m having some issues with my setup:
CPU: i9-13900K
RAM: 128 GB
GPU: RTX 4070
Drives: RAID (3 disks) + system drive C (Windows).

When I render, I keep getting black frames in the final output.
I partially fixed it by rendering directly to drive C that reduces the chance of black frames by about 70 %.
However, all my project files are stored on another SSD that’s part of the RAID array.

I’m trying to figure out whether this is due to bad render settings or the RAID setup itself.
On my other (weaker) machine i7-10700KF, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3080, single SSD — it doesn’t happen at all.

Any ideas or similar experiences? Thanks in advance!

Is this with VEGAS Pro 21 and if so what build? Does changing decoding to legacy AVC (assuming source files are AVC) help at all?

I found 21 black frame free up until build 208. I don't have a raid system though so have no idea about that.
