In our read throughput test, the drive peaked at 5,263.72MB/s at the 16MB block mark which is some way short of the official maximum of 7,000MB/s.

Peak write throughput came at the 8MB block mark at 4,040MB/s, again slower than the official maximum figure of 5,000MB/s. The performance of the drive seems to plateau out between the 128KB and 256KB block marks but it recovers very well.
