Solving cache stability for Fanxiang S910PRO 2TB in TLOU 2
This drive brags about PCIe 5.0 independent cache, yet loading a single scene would send me straight back to the desktop—absolutely pathetic. The S910PRO's DRAM cache and the motherboard's PCIe link had a sync offset of about 2.1-3.4ms during high-concurrency requests, which triggered I/O timeouts. I tried downgrading the PCIe slot to Gen4 in the BIOS; it stopped the crashing, but my speeds were cut in half, which is just a ridiculous way to 'fix' a problem. I finally updated to the latest motherboard chipset drivers and manually set the disk policy to 'Quick Removal' in Device Manager. After 10 consecutive scene-jump tests, the system didn't crash once, and speeds stayed around 11000MB/s. I actually hit a Blue Screen during the driver update because of a version mismatch, but a clean wipe of the old drivers sorted it. Temps are a bit high at 55-65℃ due to the cache power draw. I've backed up the registry keys and driver version that actually worked, and the input lag is finally gone.
