I'm getting random read latency and stutters in city areas in The Division Next with an Intel 660P 2TB.

That smooth city exploration feeling is finally back! After optimizing the write cache strategy, the 4K random read performance of the Intel 660P 2TB got a massive boost, cutting load times from 15 seconds down to 7. At first, I tried running a defrag, which is a complete waste of time for an NVMe drive and just adds unnecessary wear—that outdated approach really annoyed me. I switched to the latest Intel storage drivers and enabled forced write cache flushing in Windows Performance Options, while killing the PCIe Link State Power Management. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads climbing from 42MB/s to 62-70MB/s, and those micro-stutters during scene transitions are gone. I did experience a slight shutdown delay after enabling the cache, but a power plan adjustment fixed it. Temps are staying between 40-52℃, and it's running like a charm. The in-game performance tool confirms a huge jump in fluidity after the mode switch, with frame times stabilizing at 5.1-6.4ms.
