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.

At 4,079MB/s, the Sequential read result is a little shy of the official 4,125MB/s while the peak write score of 2,977MB/s (QD8) is a little faster than the official maximum rating of 2,950MB/s. The read performance seemed to start to plateau out between QDs 4 and 8 but recovers by QD16.

128KB Sequential Read performance v QD.

The P41 Plus seems to perform best at QD's 2 and 4 where it sits mid-table. At QD's 1 and 32 the drive sits at the bottom of the results chart.

128KB Sequential Write performance v QD.

The 1TB P41 Plus sits very firmly in the bottom part of our results charts throughout the tested queue depths, performing strongest at QD1.
