Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB resource scheduling for Kai no Kiseki
The loading logic on this drive is basically a lottery; sometimes it's instant, sometimes it takes a lifetime. When dealing with fragmented assets, the SLC cache on the Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB fills up, and the write speed plummets from 7000MB/s to a pathetic 1200MB/s, pushing I/O wait times to 40ms. I tried increasing the Windows page file, but that just created more disk contention and made the loads even slower—totally ridiculous. I finally flashed the latest official firmware and disabled 'Write Cache Merging' in Device Manager, locking the queue depth to 32. In CrystalDiskMark, the 4K random reads jumped from 42MB/s to 65MB/s, and the freezing stopped. I did have a moment where the drive wasn't recognized after the update, but a quick reseat of the M.2 slot fixed it. Temps are okay at 45-52℃. I've exported the error logs to make sure the I/O issues are actually gone.
