We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random read 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 1TB MP600 Core Mini is officially rated as up to 650,000 IOPS for random reads. Using our 4-threaded random read test we couldn't get to the official maximum as the best we saw was 374,577 IOPS (1,534.27MB/s) at QD32.
4K Random Read v QD Performance comparison
At QDs 1, 2 and 4 the drive languishes in the bottom half of the results chart but at QD32 it's to be found in a mid-table position.
