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 C930 is rated as up to 1,000K 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 366,909 IOPS (1,502.86MB/s) at QD16.
4K Random Read v QD performance compared
The drive's best performance, compared to the drives around it, happens at QD4 while its slowest occurs at QD1. The drive is placed in the bottom half of the results table for QDs 2 and 32.
