Windows 10: (bug) My external sata drives is causing irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD

Disconnecting the drives allows the computer to boot normally. The last thing I did with the drive was install and play modern warfare and then shut off the PC. Plugging in the drives with hotplug enabled causes the PC to bsod in any windows state (safemode, recovery). The drives were set up as windows storage spaces but even only trying to boot up one of the drives causes windows to BSOD.
