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.

Transfer Request Size: 128KB, Thread(s): 1, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

128KB Sequential Read / Write.

Using this Sequential test, the results confirmed the official Sequential ratings of the drive of up to 14,800MB/s and 14,000MB/s for read and write, respectively, with figures of 14,873MB/s for reads and 14,144MB/s for writes both at Q32.

128KB Sequential Read v QD performance.

At QD1, the 8TB version of the Fury Renegade G5 is slower than the 2TB version. At QD2 and QD4, the difference between them narrows, but at QD32, the positions swapped, with the larger drive faster.

128KB Sequential Write v QD performance.

When it comes to the Sequential writes, the 8TB drive is a lot slower than the 2TB version at QD1, however, as the queue depths deepens, the drives get closer to one another until at QD32, the 8TB drive takes over from the 2TB drive and at 14,144.5MB/s its the fastest consumer Gen 5 drive we've seen to date.
