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

With our own Sequential tests, we could confirm the official read figure with a test result of 7,430MB/s, however, writes fell a little short of the official maximum at 6,888MB/s.

128KB Sequential Read v QD compared.

At lower queue depths; QD1 & 2, the drive sits in mid-table but at QD4 and QD32 it has moved up into the top 5.

128KB Sequential Write v QD compared.

As with Sequential reads when it comes to the write performance the drive sits in a mid-table position but as the queue depth deepens the drive moves up the table, so at QD4 and QD32 the drive sits just behind Kingston's KC3000 drive at the top of the chart.
