How do I fix slow map loading in CS2 with a Seagate FireCuda 540 2TB drive?

Map switches in CS2 felt like a cliff when my Seagate FireCuda 540 2TB dropped to Gen3 x4 speeds. I tried re-plugging the drive, but system recognition became unstable. I then used GamePP Hardware Sensor Page to force the link to Gen4 x4. CrystalDiskMark confirmed read speeds hit 6800-7200MB/s. Map load time dropped from 15s to 5s. This fix ensures competitive texture streaming without fatal delays during fast-paced engagements.
