In our read-throughput test, the NV2 peaked at 2,688MB/s (16MB Block) well short of the official maximum of 3,500MB/s.

The 1TB NV2 drive is the slowest we've seen in our throughput test by quite some margin.

In our write throughput test the drive peaked at the 4MB Block mark at 2,578MB/s. The drive's performance then drops to 2,205MB/s before staging a recovery to finish the test run at 2,472.85MB/s. The peak result is once again shy of the official 2,800MB/s maximum figure.
