We used CrystalDiskMark 8 to test the random performance of the drive at lower queue depths (QD1 – QD8, where most of the everyday workloads occur) using 1 to 4 threads.

Random Read performance

Using a single thread in the random read test, the drive gave a range of results from 19,842 IOPS at QD1 up to 138,646 IOPS at QD8. With two threads, the performance climbed slowly from QD1 to QD4 when the performance accelerated up to QD8, while using three threads, the gentle climb in performance lasted until QD2, then climbed very quickly up to QD8. Using four threads, the performance climbed quickly from QD1 to QD2, then slowed between QD2 and QD4. From there the performance rockets away until the end of the test at QD8.

Random Write performance

In the 4K write tests, the performance rose quickly from QD1 to QD2 for all four tested threads. Using one and two threads, the performance began to slow at QD4 and then plateaued out. Using three threads, the performance continued to climb until the end of the test. Using four threads, the performance dropped from 341,101 IOPS to 297,738 IOPS at QD2 before accelerating again to finish the test run at QD8 with 509,132 IOPS.
