My Zhitai TiPro9000 4TB is timing out during rift jumps in Ratchet & Clank, causing textures to flicker. How do I fix this?

The sheer hype of those instant scene transitions was completely killed by sudden texture flickering; it felt physically jarring during high-speed movement. The controller on this Zhitai TiPro9000 4TB Edition was choking on high-frequency random read requests because the power management was set to 'Balanced,' causing link response times to jitter between 110-150ns and creating tiny gaps in resource loading. My first instinct was to drop the texture quality by one notch in the game settings. While the flickering eased up, the visual loss was huge, and that kind of compromise was a non-starter for me. I eventually flashed the latest official firmware and forced the NVMe power mode to 'High Performance.' In AIDA64 storage benchmarks, random read performance stabilized at 72-78MB/s, and the texture load time during jumps dropped from 2.1 seconds to a snappy 0.8 seconds. I actually had a brief 'drive disappeared' scare right after the firmware update, but reseating the M.2 drive and cleaning the contacts fixed it. Temps are sitting between 48-56℃. The benchmark tools confirm the random I/O is back to normal, and the driver bug is officially dead.
