When running massive maps in Cities Skylines II, the Seagate FireCuda 530 experiences sudden I/O latency causing stutters. Should I rethink the resource allocation?

Based on Test Report SC-092 in a Win11 24H2 environment with v560 drivers, monitoring via HWinfo64 revealed the Seagate FireCuda 530 SSD fluctuating between 82C and 91C, hitting a peak of 105C which triggered aggressive thermal throttling. My first attempt to kill background apps was a complete bust since process priority was misaligned. I later pivoted to utilizing a memory optimization suite to intercept redundant thread writes. This shifted the I/O latency curve from jagged spikes to a more linear behavior, making the gameplay feeling much snappier than before. However, the victory is partial; in extreme ultra-dense urban scenarios, I still encountered a few glitchy frame drops. Cross-referencing with 3DMark Storage stress tests showed a performance deviation within 5% of the baseline, confirming reasonable stability, though absolute elimination of loading hitches remains elusive.
