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.

In this test, the results confirmed the official Sequential ratings of the drive of up to 10,000MB/s and 8,200MB/s for read and write, respectively. The drive produced figures of 10,335MBs for reads and 8,747MB/s for writes, both at QD32.

128KB Sequential Read v QD compared

At QD 1, the drive sits at the bottom of the results chart behind the two other divers using the E31T, the Phison reference design and Corsair's MP700 Elite. At QDs 2 and 32, it sits between them, while at QD4, it's slightly faster than both of them.

128KB Sequential Write v QD compared

When it comes to the sequential write test results the Kioxia Exceria G4 sits in last place at QD1. However at QDs 2, 4 and 32, the drive seperates the two other drives using the Phison E31T controller, the Phison reference design and the Corsair MP700 Elite.
