Should I adjust sector alignment if Kingdom Come crashes during auto-saves on a FireCuda 540 2TB?

Spending hours leveling up only to have the game crash during a save is enough to make anyone rage. The Seagate FireCuda 540 2TB was having LBA sector alignment issues with fragmented save data, causing checksum errors during 4KB small-file writes that forced the game to close. I tried lowering the graphics to reduce the load, but that just cost me 10% performance and didn't stop the crashes—a total waste of time. I used a professional tool to re-align the partitions and locked the virtual memory page size to 4096MB to stop the mapping table from updating constantly. After 5 stress test cycles, storage errors dropped from twice an hour to zero. I did have a scary unplanned reboot during the alignment process because of a power flicker, but a bad sector scan cleared everything up. Temps are steady at 45-52℃. I've backed up the optimized parameters to my motherboard tool just in case.
