I just cannot play and record at same time on this laptop, light settings options everywhere with 30fps lock, even that makes my internal SSD reach to 68c-75c. I did read critical temps are 80c'ish. I do trim every month and it is enabled on Windows task. This is a WD 735 512gb as the laptops only storage. ASUS Z ROG G15 2022 ga503rm. I'm forced to use a external drive to record to and play from which is bad joke at the price I paid for this laptop. Idle temps are 39c-49c

What should I do? Active power plan is set to Power Saver from gpedit.msc, does not help either.
 
Just not a very good drive I would gather. Small, which means it likely has less chips than average. And the max speeds are nothing amazing, so either the controller is older or the lack of flash chips means it has poor bandwidth.

Replace the drive if you want better performance.
