For the long term performance stability test, we set the drive 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 480GB Kingston A1000 averaged 61,923 IOPS for the test with a performance stability of 53%, which for an entry level drive is pretty good.
