In our read-throughput test, the drive peaked at the 16MB block mark at 7,334.59MB/s, some 2,666MB/s short of the official maximum figure of 10,000MB/s. The performance dipped between the 2MB and 4MB block sizes but soon recovered.

That 7,334.59MB/s result sees the drive in last position in the results table, slower than the other two drives above it on the table that use the Phison PS5031-E31T controller, Corsair's MP700 Elite and Phison's own reference design.

In the write throughput test, the drive peaked at 8,278.19MB/s at the end of the test, confirming the maximum official rating of 8,200MB/s.

Although the test result confirms the official figure for drive, it is still 61MB/s slower than Phison's reference design and 162.36MB/s behind the Corsair MP700 Elite (with heatsink), the other two drives using the E31T controller in this list.
