Should I optimize partition alignment to fix frame drops caused by slow read speeds on an Intel 760P 1TB in Black Desert Remastered cities?

I honestly couldn't take it anymore; this old drive handles the Remastered textures like it's a cheap thumb drive. The more people in the city, the harder the frame rate tanks. The random read performance of the Intel 760P is just outdated for modern AAA titles, with read latency often hovering between 110-130ms. I first tried installing all sorts of 'booster' software, but they just ate up background resources without helping the load times—I felt totally ripped off by the marketing. I eventually used a partition assistant to recalibrate the 4K alignment and installed the latest official Intel storage drivers. In comparative tests, random reads went from 32MB/s to 48-55MB/s. It's not a huge leap, but the frequency of instant stutters in town dropped by about 60%. I actually accidentally deleted a small partition during the process and spent an hour sweating bullets trying to recover my data. Drive temps are between 38-45℃, which is barely acceptable. Comparing the read/write curves, the response time now sits at 15-22ms.
