Seagate FireCuda 540 2TB Gen 5 SSD Review

We used CrystalDiskMark 8’s custom settings to test the 4K 70/30 mixed read/write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths using a single thread and four threads.

Using four threads in our 70/30 read/write tests, the performance of the 2TB FireCuda 540 ranges from 107,238 IOPS (439.24MB/s) at QD1 to 503,791 IOPS (2,063MB/s) at QD32. Switching over to a single thread the performance runs from 26,504 IOPS (109.56MB/s) at QD1 up to 179,896 IOPS (735.85MB/s) at QD32.
