For the long-term performance stability test, we set the drive up to run a 20-minute 4K random test with a 30% write, 70% read split, at a Queue Depth of 256 over the entire disk. The Gigabyte AORUS RAID 2TB averaged 101,662 IOPS for the test with a performance stability of 61.8%.

As this test is the one that pushes a drive hard we took temperature readings to see how well the drive's cooling worked. At the start of the test, the drive measured 39°C (ambient 23.7°C) with the temperature peaking at 57° C during the test run.
