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.

In this test, the results were shy of the official maximums of up to 14,900MB/s for reads and up to 13,700MB/s for writes, with results of 14,704MB/s and 13,619MB/s for reads and writes respectively.

128KB Sequential Read Performance v QD.

At QD 1, the drive sits in the bottom half of the table, but as the queue deepens, the drive moves up the chart, so by QD32 it sits in fifth place on the results chart.

128KB Sequential Write Performance v QD.

When it comes to the sequential write test results, the Kioxia Exceria PRO G2 sits in the penultimate place at QD1. However, as with the read test, as the queue depth deepens, the performance improves, pushing the drive up the chart so it finishes at QD32 in the fifth spot.
