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.
Our four-threaded 4K random read tests couldn't get close to the official maximum of 1,500K IOPS. The best figure we saw was 517,821 IOPS (2,121MB/s) at the end of the test run at QD32.
4K Random Read v QD performance compared
At QD1 the drive sits in third place behind both Crucial T700 drives. The drive moves up a position at QD2 and drops back again at QD4. However, at QD32, the MP700 PRO is the fastest consumer drive we've seen to date in this test.
