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.
With our Sequential read/write tests, we could confirm the official maximums of 14,000MB/s & 13,000MB/s respectively, with test results of 14,301MB/s for reads and 13,488MB/s for writes, both figures better than the official maximum ratings.
128KB Sequential Read v QD performance.
At lower queue depths (QD1-4), the performance of the NV150HK lags behind the majority of its competitors. However, at QD32, the drive's performance sees it rise rapidly up the chart into fifth position.
128KB Sequential Write v QD performance.
When it came to Sequential writes, at queue depth 1, the drive sits in the bottom half of the results chart. At QD2, the drive's performance sees it climb into third place behind WD's Black SN8100 and Kingston's Fury Renegade G5 drives. At QD4, the drive has dropped into a mid-table position, but at QD32 the drive sits in third place again.
