Can I fix Zhitai TiPro9000 4TB read delays in RE9?
When a monster jumps out of the shadows, you want that load to be instant for the full thrill. However, once the Zhitai TiPro9000 4TB's dynamic SLC cache fills, the write speed craters from 7000MB/s to under 1000MB/s, causing 15-25ms resource delays. I tried the 'Balanced' power plan, but that just tanked my read speeds from 7000MB/s to 4000MB/s—totally useless for a high-end SSD. I went into Device Manager, bumped the NVMe controller queue depth from 1024 to 2048, and enabled the forced write cache flush policy. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads jumping from 50MB/s to 70-80MB/s. I had a brief moment where the drive wasn't detected after the change, but switching to 'High Performance' power mode solved it. Drive temps sat between 45-58℃ with the heatsink. Storage analysis tools confirm the speed is back, and it's holding steady at 45-58℃.
