How to resolve storage link lag on Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB in Neverness to Everness?
Staring at a loading screen for a full minute is the worst feeling, especially when the input lag makes the game unplayable. Checking the logs, I found that once the TiPro9000's SLC cache fills up, the random write speed tanks from 3000 MB/s to below 600 MB/s, causing the whole system to choke on assets. I tried bumping the virtual memory to 32GB, but that actually made the response time worse—just a complete waste of time. I eventually used a partition tool to force 4K alignment and flashed the latest factory NVMe drivers. In real-world testing, map load times dropped from 40 seconds to about 12 seconds, and those annoying micro-hitches are gone. I actually accidentally wiped a hidden system partition during the alignment process and couldn't boot for an hour until I ran a repair tool. Temps are now sitting at 45-52℃. After ten consecutive reboot tests, the storage link is finally stable.
