We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.

Transfer Request Size: 4KB, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

As with the random read results, we couldn't get close to the official maximum of 1,400,000 IOPS using our four-threaded tests. The best we saw was 443,203 IOPS at QD16. After this peak, the performance dropped slightly to finish the test run at QD32 at 438,733 IOPS.

4K Random Write v QD performance compared.

At QD1, the drive sits in a mid-table position. As the queue depth deepens, the drive sinks slowly down the result charts.
