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.

Using this Sequential performance test we can confirm the official Sequential 5,000MB/s reads, 3,800MB/s writes ratings of the 1TB MP600 Core Mini with a read test result of 5,138MB/s and 3,902MB/s for writes.

128KB Sequential Read Performance v QD comparison

The drive sits near the bottom place of the Sequential read results at QDs 1, 2 and 4. At QD32 the performance of the drive has kicked in to such an extent that it is to be found in the middle of the pack.

128KB Sequential Write Performance v QD comparison

When it comes to the Sequential writes the drive performs best compared to the drives around it, at QD1. After this, as the queue depth deepens the performance falls away so that the Core Mini falls down the chart.
