How to fix Kioxia EXCERIA PRO loading lag in PB Zero?
This drive was basically gasping for air when dealing with modern 4K textures. Every time I entered a new zone, the walls would pop in like a jigsaw puzzle—it was honestly pathetic. While the Kioxia EXCERIA PRO hits 7000MB/s sequential, it was hitting massive I/O blocks with the beta's asset streaming. I tried capping the graphics settings, but the game looked like something from the 90s, which was a totally useless solution. I used a partition tool to verify 4K alignment and ran a system-level storage optimization. In CrystalDiskMark, random reads climbed from 40-48MB/s to 52-60MB/s, shaving about 5 seconds off load times. I hit a snag where disk usage spiked to 100% after the first cleanup, but that was just my antivirus scanning in the background. Once I killed that, it settled. Drive temps stayed between 38-45℃ with response times around 0.07ms. I backed up the optimized partition parameters just in case. Temps remained at 38-45℃.
