We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the Sequential read and write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.

128KB Sequential Read / Write.

Transfer Request Size: 128KB, Thread(s): 1, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

Using this Sequential test, the results confirmed the official Sequential ratings of the drive of up to 14,700MB/s and 14,000MB/s for read and write, respectively, with figures of 14,745MB/s for reads (QD32) and 14,133MB/s (QD16) for writes.

128KB Sequential Read v QD performance compared

At QDs 1, 2 and 4, the drive sits in second place in the results charts, but at QD32 it's the fastest drive we've seen to date in this test.

128KB Sequential Write v QD performance compared

When it comes to the Sequential writes, the drive is very consistent, sitting in the top spot of the results chart across all the tested queue depths.
