We used CrystalDiskMark 8 to test the random performance of the drive at lower queue depths (QD1 – QD8, where most of the everyday workloads occur) using 1 to 4 threads.

Random Reads

In the QD1-QD8 random read tests, the 4TB MP700 Micro produced smooth increases in performance as the queue depth deepened without any noticeable dramas. QD1 performance ranges from 21,423 IOPS (87.74MB/s) up to 84,123 IOPS (344.56MB/s) using four threads. At the end of the test run at QD8, the single thread performance had risen to 154,698 IOPS (633.23MB/s) while using four threads, the drive gave a result of 439,704 IOPS (1,801.03MB/s).

Random Writes

In the 4K write tests, the performance rose quickly from QD1 to QD2 for all four tested threads, with the fastest rise seen in the three and four-threaded tests. At QDs 1,3, and 4, the acceleration slowed between QD2 and QD4 before levelling off. With two threads, the performance plateaued off from QD2 until the end of the test run.
