We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random read performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.
Transfer Request Size: 4KB, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

Using our 4-threaded random tests, we couldn't come anywhere close to the official maximum random read figure of up to 2,000,000 IOPS, the best we saw was 504,714 IOPS at QD16 before the performance dropped back to finish the test run (QD32) at 502,888 IOPS.
4K Random Read Performance v QD compared

At QDs 1 & 2 the drive sits in third and fourth place respectively in the results chart. However, as the queue depth deepens, the drive drops down the table so by QD32 it is holding the table up.
