Why does Zhitai TiPro9000 4TB cause crashes in Metal Gear Solid Delta?
Right as I'm infiltrating the enemy base, the game just freezes for about 2 seconds. In a stealth game, that kind of hitch is a death sentence. I found that the TiPro9000's default power management was aggressively putting the drive into low-power states, causing response times to jump erratically between 12ms and 48ms. I tried swapping M.2 slots—both CPU-direct and chipset lanes—but the lag persisted, which was incredibly discouraging. Finally, I went into the BIOS and completely disabled NVMe power saving and forced the PCIe link to Gen4 High Performance. My latency tester showed response times dropping from 18-42ms to a consistent 3-6ms. Disabling power saving did break my system hibernate function, so I had to rebuild my Windows power scheme from scratch to fix it. SSD temps are 45-52℃. Data streaming is finally synchronized, and the crashes have stopped.
