CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.5.
Corsair's 4TB MP700 Micro performs well in the CrystalDiskMark 8 4K QD1 T1 test; its read score of 89.5MB/s puts it into sixth place in the results chart, although its write score of 302.17MB/s isn't as strong as its immediate competitors around it in the chart.
As you can see from the benchmarking screens, we could confirm the official maximum Sequential read figure of 9,400MB/s with a test result of 9,447MB/s from the default test. The write result of 7,940MB/s is a little shy of the official maximum of 8,100MB/s.
That 9,447MB/s read result sees the MP700 Micro propping up the results chart.
Peak Performance Profile
We can confirm the official random 4K figures for the drive of up to 1,300,000 IOPS for reads and up to 1,400,000 IOPS for writes, and even better than that, using the Peak Performance profile of CrystalDiskMark 8 with default test results of 1,346,718 IOPS for reads and 1,530,463 IOPS for writes. Looking at the result screens, it appears that the drive doesn't have a preference for what type of data it is being asked to handle.
As with the default CrystalDiskMark 8 test, the Sequential read results from the Peak Performance profile shows the drive sitting in last place in the table.
Real World Profile
The Corsair MP700 Micro sits in last place in the CrystalDiskMark 8 Real World result table with a read score of 5,194MB/s, but its write result of 7,598MB/s is much stronger.
