My Intel 660P 2TB read speeds tank in big cities in Days Gone. Can a TRIM command actually fix this?

This QLC drive is basically a ticking time bomb; the speed drops faster than a lead balloon the more you use it, which is just ridiculous. While loading the Oregon map, reads dropped to 200MB/s, and I was stuck staring at the loading spinner for an eternity. I tried a few disk defrag tools first, but that was a rookie mistake—it just added unnecessary writes and chewed through the drive's lifespan. I decided to go nuclear and forced a global TRIM command via CMD while updating the Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers. In Resource Monitor, I saw the read speeds climb from a shaky 200-400MB/s back up to 1200-1500MB/s. After the TRIM, my reboot time jumped by about 10 seconds until I stripped out some useless startup apps. Temps stayed between 35-45℃, which is barely acceptable. I exported the peak R/W data for my records, and frame times finally stabilized between 5.1-6.4ms.
