Fixing Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB read latency in Wuthering Waves?
Entering a new zone was honestly infuriating; the game would just freeze for a split second, which totally ruins the flow of exploration. The issue is that once the Zhitai TiPro9000's dynamic SLC cache fills up, the read speed craters from 7000MB/s to under 1200MB/s, causing a massive backup in the resource queue. I tried setting the virtual memory to half my drive space, but that just created more R/W conflicts and actually increased the stuttering—totally the wrong move. Instead, I went into Device Manager and bumped the NVMe controller queue depth from 1024 to 2048 and forced the write cache flush policy in performance options. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads climbing from 50-60MB/s to 72-80MB/s. I had some weird drive detection delays right after the change, but switching the power plan to High Performance killed that issue. Drive temps are now 45-58℃, and the heatsink is doing its job. The load times are way shorter now, and the input response feels much more immediate.
