We used CrystalDiskMark 8’s custom settings to test the 4K 70/30 mixed read/write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths using a single thread and four threads.

In our 4K 70/30 read/write tests, the 2TB Kingston Fury Renegade G5 peaked at the QD16 mark using both single and four threads, before the performance began to drop back. Using four threads, the drive accelerates from 131,346 IOPS (537.994MB/s) at QD1 up to 508,013 IOPS (2,080MB/s) at QD16. From this point, the rate of performance begins to slow, finishing the test run at 505,982 IOPS (2,072MB/s) at QD32.

Switching over to a single thread, the drive climbs from 29,731 IOPS (121.79MB/s) up to 179,344 IOPS (734.59MB/s) at QD16. The drive finishes the test run at QD32 with the performance dropping back to 177,855 IOPS (728.49MB/s).
