Why does my Zhitai TiPro9000 freeze during scene switches in Callisto Protocol?
Every time I entered a complex underground facility, the loading bar would just hang at 99% for about 5 seconds, which was incredibly stressful. The issue is that once the Zhitai TiPro9000's dynamic SLC cache fills up while streaming 4K textures, the read speed plummets from 7000MB/s to under 1200MB/s, effectively freezing the game process. I tried disabling all background scanners, but that only shaved off a second—a useless effort that proved the problem was the SSD's scheduling algorithm. I updated to the latest NVMe controller drivers and forced the write cache flush policy in the Windows performance options. In CrystalDiskMark's 4K random read tests, the latency tightened from 55ms to a much healthier 32-38ms, and the freezes vanished. I noticed a slight increase in idle power draw after the change, but switching to the 'Balanced' power plan fixed that. Temps stay between 42-55℃ with the heatsink. The response time is finally back to normal and feels way more responsive.
