How to fix 0.4s frame freezes in Control 2 on ASRock H310CM-HDV?

Moving through the Bureau was a nightmare; the screen would freeze for 0.4s every time a new room loaded, which was incredibly jarring. I tried migrating the game to a SATA SSD, but random reads dropped to 20MB/s per CrystalDiskMark, proving the bus was the bottleneck. I used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configurator to increase the depth from 32 to 128 and enabled forced write cache. 4K random reads improved to 55-63MB/s per CrystalDiskMark, and SSD temperatures stayed healthy at 40-48℃ per HWInfo64.
