4K Random Read v QD Performance

Kingston state a maximum 4K random read IOPS figure for the 1TB KC2000 as up to 350,000 IOPS. In our 4K random read testing using 4-threads the best we got from the drive was 308,960 IOPS at a queue depth of 32.

4K Random Read v QD Performance Compared

At queue depths 1 and 4, the Kingston KC2000 drive offers better 4K random read performance that the Toshiba XG6 but at QD2 and 32, it's the Toshiba drive that offers the better performance.
