The official maximum read IOPS figure for the drive is 750,000 IOPS. As you can see from the results chart we couldn't get close to that figure with our 4-threaded tests. The fastest performance we saw was 364,231 IOPS at a QD of 32.

The drive seemed to perform the best at QD's 2 and 4 before falling back compared to the other two Gen 4 drives at a deep QD of 32.
