The MP400 is official rated as up to 380,000 IOPS for 4K random reads. Using our standard 4-threaded test, the best figure we saw was 161,171 IOPS at a queue depth of 32. We then retested the drive using eight threads at QD32 and got a figure of 423,824 IOPS, much faster than the official figure.
4K Random Read v QD Performance Compared.
At QD1 the MP400 performs very well, sitting in second place in our results table with 55,972 IOPS. However, the performance in comparison to the other drives around it at QD1 falls away as the queue depth deepens.
