8KB Random Read Performance

A high degree of data centre work is done with 8K data so we tested the drive at this data level (8 threads, 16GB span) to see how it would perform. The read performance peaks at 59,098.8 IOPS (484.14MB/s) at a QD of 128. Once again after the initial burst, it remained very consistent across the tested queue depth, the only downside is the high latency while achieving it.

8KB Random Write Performance

In the 8K random write test, the drive peaked at 54,197.5 IOPS (443.99MB/s) again at a QD of 128. But as with the 8K random read results, the latency figures are very high.
