How do I fix the severe loading lag in Resident Evil 9 with WD Black SN770 1TB?

I felt the tension shatter when Resident Evil 9 stuttered during a jump scare. I tried increasing the page file to 32GB, but the lag persisted. I then used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to raise the queue from 1024 to 2048. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random read speed jumping from 45-52MB/s to 68-75MB/s. AIDA64 confirmed stable drive temperatures at 42-55℃. The immersion is finally saved.
