Optimizing Fanxiang S790 4TB storage for Gears 5
Running this game on a 4TB drive should be a breeze, but the cache scheduling was a total maze. Once the Fanxiang S790's dynamic SLC cache filled up, write speeds plummeted from 7000MB/s to under 800MB/s, creating a massive I/O bottleneck during asset decompression. I tried clearing temp files first, but gaining 2GB of space was like trying to put out a forest fire with a water pistol. I eventually moved the page file to a non-system partition and locked it at a fixed 16GB-32GB to stop Windows from constantly resizing it. Resource Monitor showed disk active time dropping from a choked 100% down to a healthy 40-60%. I did notice some stuttering when launching old legacy software after locking the page file, but switching the memory management mode to 'High Performance' cleared it up. Drive temps are sitting at 38-45℃. I exported the crash logs via Event Viewer to confirm the fix, and fan speeds are steady at 1400-1600RPM.
