Biwin Black Opal X570 PRO 2TB Review

We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.

Transfer Request Size: 4KB, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.


As with the random read results, we couldn't get close to the official maximum of 1,600,000 IOPS using our four threaded tests. The best we saw was 426,310 IOPS at QD16. After this peak, the performance dropped slightly to finish the test run at QD32 at 423,710 IOPS.

4K Random Write Performance v QD compared


The tested random write performance of the drive isn't as strong as the random reads. It sits in the bottom half of the results table for all the tested queue depths and props up the table at QD1.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
