We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random write 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.

Using our 4-threaded test results we couldn't get close to the official maximum random read figure of 1,300,000 IOPS, the best we saw was 537,524 IOPS at QD16 before the performance dropped back to 533,467 IOPS at the end of the test run at QD32.

4K Random Read v QD compared.

At QD1, Corsair's MP700 Elite with Heatsink is the fastest Gen5 consumer drive we've seen to date for this QD with a result figure of 93,560 IOPS. However, at QD2 the drive has dropped to the second spot and by QD4 it's dropped down to the penultimate place in the chart. But at QD32 it stages a major comeback to sit in second place behind the Phison E31T reference design.
