Why does Nioh keep crashing with the Fanxiang S790 4TB SSD?
Right in the middle of high-intensity combat, the game would just vanish and dump me back to the desktop. I checked the logs and saw the storage controller hitting insane peaks, with latency jumping erratically between 1.5-3.2ms. I was honestly panicking, thinking I'd bought a lemon, and I wasted hours swapping M.2 slots only for it to keep crashing. It was a total slog. I eventually used the manufacturer's tool to switch the write cache from Auto to Manual and disabled PCIe power management in the BIOS. Looking at the monitoring panel, the random R/W voltage fluctuations tightened from 0.15-0.35V to 0.08-0.12V, and my FPS stabilized from a shaky 45-65 to a solid 55-60. I tried lowering the CPU clock at first, but that just made the loading screens an eternity. Only after stacking driver compensations and tweaking the sector alignment did the system finally stop tripping. The chipset limits the total throughput, but it's rock steady now. The illegal instruction errors in the system log are gone, and the input lag is finally nonexistent.
