^^^ Heat reduction isn't why slotted rotors have slots. They do absoltely nothing for brake cooling.
Ths slots in the rotors are there to exacuate the gasses that are created when the pads get heated up under braking. One won't see those kinds of brake temps on the street, though.

In the last 40 years we haven't had those gases.
Slotted rotors clean the glazed surface of the pad, that's all they do...so yes they do wear your pads faster than a blank disc.
You've obviously never used a race pad if you think the noise from a ceramic is bad.
Ceramics are supposed to be quieter than organic/semi-metallic, I would suggest pulling the pads out, inspecting the caliper making sure everything is intact, then replace making sure the supplied grease was applied to the back of the pads....

I stand corrected then.lol
That's why crossdrilling is completely pointless!
