We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random read 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.

In our 4K random read test, the drive peaked at the QD16 mark (418,053 IOPS) before dropping back slightly to finish the test run at 417,668 IOPS but that peak number is still way behind the official 650,000 IOPS.

4K Random Read v QD Performance

At QD1 the Aorus 7000s sits in at the halfway mark in our 4K random read results chart. At a QD of 2, the drive tops the charts before slowly dropping down the list as the queue depth deepens.
