We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random read 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.
Officially the 2TB CRAS C910 is rated as up to 560,000 IOPS for 4K random reads. With our four-threaded tests, we couldn't get close to the official figure with a peak test result of 374,735 IOPS (1,534.91MB/s) at QD16.
4K Random Read v QD performance compared.
At QDs 1,2 and 4 the CRAS C910 sits in a mid-table position but by the time it gets to QD32, it has dropped into the bottom half of the results table.
