Kioxia EXCERIA PRO Performance
It's ridiculous that a top-tier PCIe 4.0 drive drops frames during a few smoke grenades; it felt like driving a supercar in rush hour traffic. I tried 'Maximum Performance' mode in the drivers, but the drive temperature soared to 72℃ per HWiNFO64 without fixing the drops. I used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to boost the depth from 32 to 256 and optimized priority weights. Minimum FPS rose from 40 to 75 per RTSS, and SSD temperature stabilized at 50-58℃ per AIDA64 monitoring.
