4K Random Read v QD Performance
Test Setup – Transfer Request Size: 4KB, Outstanding I/O: 1-32, Threads: 4.
Using our four-threaded random 4K read test the drive peaked at 408,597 IOPS at a QD16 before dropping back to finish the test run at 407,809 IOPS. Both figures being nowhere near the official maximum of 1m IOPS.
4K Random Read v QD Performance Compared.
While our tested 4K read results are nowhere near the official maximum, at QD1. the drive is the second-fastest drive we've seen to date and at QD's 2 & 4, the drive has the fastest random read performance we've seen so far for a consumer drive. However, by the time the drive reaches QD32, it has started to drop down the results chart.
