Why does the Zhitai TiPro9000 slow down during Space Marine 2 updates?
Whenever a patch drops, my write speed crashes from 5000MB/s to 600MB/s—it's honestly pathetic. Once the SLC cache on the Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB fills up, the TLC mode takes over and the performance falls off a cliff, leaving my loading screen stuck at 99%. I tried formatting the drive and re-partitioning, which did absolutely nothing and just wasted two hours of my life backing up data. I eventually went into Device Manager, set the disk power management to High Performance, and used the manufacturer's tool to kill redundant background scans. CrystalDiskMark showed my sequential write fluctuations shrink from 600-5000MB/s to a more stable 2200-4800MB/s, cutting load times by 40%. I actually made the SSD run 5℃ hotter at idle after the power plan change, so I had to tweak my case airflow to keep it at 45℃. Operating temps are now 42℃ - 55℃ with latency around 0.03ms. I backed up the config via system snapshot just in case.
