Solving I/O conflicts on Zhitai TiPro9000 SSD?
Whenever I entered the bustling towns of Northumbria, the game would just vanish and dump me back to the desktop without any warning. It was a total nightmare. The Zhitai TiPro9000 was hitting peak reads of 7000MB/s with fragmented scene data, causing I/O requests to deadlock in the queue. I tried lowering the graphics settings, but that just added 5 seconds to the loading time—a total fail that made me realize I needed to fix the hardware layer. I used the official tool to flash the latest firmware and switched the Windows power plan to High Performance to stop the drive from entering low-power states. Checking the Event Viewer, the 0x80 error codes completely disappeared, and I've now gone 8 hours without a single crash. I did notice a 2-second delay in drive detection at boot after the update, but reseating the M.2 drive fixed it. Temps are stable at 45-52℃.
