The 1TB drive is rated as up to 290,000 IOPs for random reads. With our four-threaded tests, we couldn't get anywhere close to that figure, the best we saw was 108,351 IOPS at a queue depth of 16. We then ran some quick tests using 8 threads at a queue depth of 32 and got a lot closer to the maximum official figure with a result of 243,794 IOPS.

The Patriot P300 didn’t perform too well in our sustained 4K random read test, sitting close to the bottom of our result charts at all the tested queue depths.
