Fixing Kioxia EXCERIA PLUS G4 2TB storage lag in Minecraft RTX?
That feeling of gliding through a ray-traced world is finally back. Before this, flying through complex terrain was a nightmare of micro-stutters. The Kioxia EXCERIA PLUS G4 2TB is a PCIe 5.0 drive, but while handling massive RTX chunk data, the burst read speeds were swinging wildly between 4200-5800MB/s, making the frame times a total mess. I tried dropping the render distance to 12 chunks first, but the pop-in was hideous and totally unacceptable. I eventually dove into the BIOS and forced the PCIe slot from 'Auto' to 'Gen5' and updated the chipset drivers. In real-world testing, the chunk transition feels natural now, with no more jarring gaps. I actually hit a wall early on when Gen5 mode pushed temps to 78℃, triggering thermal throttling, until I tightened the heatsink and tweaked the case airflow. Now it sits comfortably at 52-61℃ with a smooth read curve. Frame time monitoring confirms the stutters are gone, and the system is finally behaving.
