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.
The NV150HK is rated at up to 1.8M IOPS for writes. Using our four threaded tests, the best we saw was 549,459 IOPS (QD16) before the performance dropped off to finish the test run at 512,936 IOPS.
4K Random Write v QD Performance
The drive works much better at deeper queue depths, as can be seen from the results graph. At QDs 1, 2 and 4, the drive sits in last spot on the graphs, but at QD32 it sits in second spot, behind WD's Black SN8100, both drives being a good deal faster than any other drive we've tested to date in this benchmark.
