In our read-throughput test, the drive peaked at the 8MB block size at 9,787.16MB/s, quite some way short of the official maximum of 14,800MB/s.

Although the read throughput result is short of the official maximum, it still puts the drive into fourth place in the results chart, some 530.28MB/s faster than the 2TB model.

In the write throughput test, the performance drops a little between the 126KB and 256KB block sizes, but the drive soon recovers, finishing the test run 11,557.47MB/s, still some way off the official maximum of 14,000MB/s but closer than the read performance.

The peak write result of 11,557MB/s sees the drive in a mid-table position, 67MB/s slower than the 2TB Fury Renegade G5.
