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 these tests we can confirm the official maximum Sequential write figure of 11,800MB/s with a test result of 11,807MB/s. Reads came in a little shy of the official maximum of 12,400MB/s at 12,285MB/s.
Sequential Read Performance v QD compared
At QD1, the Corsair MP700 PRO sits at the bottom of the table for Sequential reads by a tiny margin. However, by QD2 and beyond it has moved into second place behind the standard version of Crucial's T700 drive.
Sequential Write Performance v QD Compared
As with the Sequential read result, at QD1 the drive sits at the bottom of the Sequential write results table. However, by QD2 it sits in mid-table and at QD's 4 and 32 it sits atop of the table.
