How to fix SLC cache slowdowns on Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB?
The loading times in this game were a total test of my patience; staring at the progress bar for ages was just ridiculous. Once the dynamic SLC cache on the Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB fills up, the write speed plummets from 7000MB/s to under 1200MB/s, which directly causes those massive scene loading hitches. I tried clearing system temp files, but that was a complete waste of time on a 1TB drive and didn't lower the stutter frequency at all—it felt like a joke. I then went into Device Manager and bumped the NVMe controller queue depth from 1024 to 2048 and enabled the forced write-cache flushing policy in system performance options. In CrystalDiskMark, 4K random reads jumped from 50-60MB/s to 72-80MB/s, shaving about 4 seconds off load times. I did notice a brief disk recognition delay during idle after the queue depth change, but switching to the High Performance power plan fixed it. Temps stayed between 45-58℃. I exported the logs via the performance analyzer, and the fan stayed steady at 1400-1600RPM.
