Gigabyte Aorus 7000s 2TB SSD Review

We used CrystalDiskMark 8 to test the random performance of the drive at lower queue depths (QD1 – QD8 where most of the everyday workloads occur) using 1 to 4 threads.

The 2TB Gigabyte Aorus 7000s 4K read performance climbs smoothly throughout the tested queue depths and threads. At QD1 the performance of the drive ranges from 17,412 IOPS (71.32MBs) using a single thread up to 67.399 IOPS (276.06MB/s) using 4-threads.

When it comes to 4K random writes, the only result which shows anything like a smooth performance curve is when the drive was tested using three threads. Using two and four threads the drive climbs steadily from QD1 to QD4 before plateauing out slightly. Using a single thread sees the drive peaking at QD4 at 91,220.6 IOPS before dropping back to finish the test run at 90,259 IOPS.
