Verifying sensor precision for Seagate FireCuda 540 in Starfield

Referencing Report 06, the Seagate FireCuda 540 4TB PCIe 5.0 SSD had timing fluctuations between 15.9ns - 20.4ns, and CPU-Z showed channel bandwidth utilization jumping from 81% - 94%. I tried two things: first, I lowered the memory frequency, but that just tanked my overall FPS, so I scrapped that. Then I used the ASUS Armoury Crate device status panel to lock the sensor refresh rate and used MSI Center for a firmware check, fine-tuning the memory timings to 16ns - 19ns. After that, CPU-Z showed bandwidth utilization stabilizing at 84% - 90%, and the controller haptics felt precise again. I used SignalRGB logs to confirm the sensor data was clean. Latency still hits 19.9ns during extreme read/write bursts, but it's practically invisible in gameplay now.
