Is the Great Wall GW3300 2TB causing lag during Nioh 2 autosaves?
Saving in this game feels like a benchmark test for your SSD; every time it autosaves, the screen just freezes for half a second. It's maddening. Once the SLC cache on the GW3300 fills up around 50GB, the write speed plummets from 3000MB/s to about 800MB/s, which completely blocks the game's main thread. I tried disabling all background updates in Windows, but that was a total waste of time—the stutters remained. I eventually forced a write-combining strategy through the registry and used a cleanup tool to clear 100GB of redundant fragments. In IOPS stress tests, random write latency dropped from 110us to 75us, and those micro-stutters finally died. I actually bricked my boot sequence once after the registry tweak and had to use a recovery drive to get back in, which was a heart-attack moment. Temps are sitting at 48-55℃, so the heatsink is barely keeping up. Exported logs show fan speeds steady at 1400-1600RPM.
