Should I update firmware for my Great Wall GW3300 2TB if Atomic Heart keeps crashing during scene loads?

This budget drive is a joke; crashing in Atomic Heart is just a hardware disaster. After scouring tech forums, I found that early firmware for the GW3300 2TB has terrible support for DX12 asynchronous compute, often timing out when pulling large files. I tried disabling all power-saving options, but the drive temp spiked to 75℃, which was just a band-aid solution and a waste of time. I took a gamble and flashed the latest stable firmware, then performed a full CMOS reset. After 12 hours of stress testing, the crashes completely stopped. I noticed a slight dip in read speeds of about 100MB/s right after the flash, but reconfiguring the PCIe mode in BIOS brought it back. Temps are now a comfy 40-50℃. I exported all BIOS storage settings to a config file, and fan speeds have stayed steady between 1400-1600RPM, though the drive still feels like a budget compromise.
