We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the Sequential read and write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.

128KB Sequential Read / Write.

Transfer Request Size: 128KB, Thread(s): 1, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

Using this Sequential test, the results confirmed the official Sequential ratings of the drive of up to 14,000MB/s and 13,000MB/s for read and write respectively with figures of 14,201MB/s for reads (QD32) and 13,4241MB/s (QD8) for writes.

128KB Sequential Read performance v QD compared.

At QD1 the drive sits in fifth sport on the result chart, 39MB/s faster than the 4TB drive. But as the queue depth deepens, the drive drops down the chart, but just like the 4TB X570 PRO it stages a comeback at QD32 ending up in third spot behind the 4TB model.

128KB Sequential Write performance v QD compared.

When it comes to Sequential writes, at QD1 it is the fastest Gen5 consumer drive we've seen to date in this test. At QD2 it has fallen down the chart, sitting just outside the top five but by QD's 4 and 32 it has climbed back up to sit in second place behind the 4TB X570.
