Why does MGS Delta stutter on my Seagate FireCuda 510?

I was creeping through a dense jungle when the game hitched violently. CrystalDiskMark showed random read latency spiking from 45us to 120us as the SLC cache overflowed. I tried increasing virtual memory, but that did nothing. It was frustrating. I then used GamePP NVMe Queue Configuration to lock the queue depth at 1024 and switched the power plan to High Performance. After this, CrystalDiskMark confirmed the latency stabilized at 38-42us. The drive temperature held steady between 42℃ and 48℃ per GamePP Hardware Sensor. The stuttering vanished, and I could finally enjoy the immersion without worrying about frame drops.
