SSD NVMe Config advice

I’m getting a sneaking suspicion that my NVMe drive is actually so fast that it is causing projects to fail to load, and to crash Cubase. Poof. Vanished…

This may seem odd, but HOW I initiate the startup of a .cpr is directly correlated to how frequently these crashes happen. If Cubase is already open and I open using the File/Open dialog, it just crashes. But if it’s open and I navigate to the cpr on my hard disk and run the file, it more often than not will start the file. If Cubase is not open and I start a cpr by directly clicking on it, same positive result, if not even better… it seems to open the project just fine. The feeling I have is, and I may be way off base, is that Cubase doesn’t know how to wait and properly cue the data to load the program as that data is streaming in, as if that data stream is just too fast for Cubase to handle… like throwing 10 balls at a juggler at once and expecting him to perform. I’m at a loss.
