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 the reads came in a little shy of the official maximum of 14,000MB/s at 13,737MB/s. Writes on the other hand at 12,498MB/s were faster than the official 12,000MB/s rating.
128KB Sequential Read Performance compared.
At QD1, the Corsair MP700 PRO SE sits in second place behind Seagate's FireCuda 540 by a very tiny margin. After that the Corsair drive pulls away from the rest of the drives so by QD32 it leads the nearest drive, the Crucial T700, by 1,438MB/s.
128KB Sequential Write Performance compared.
At QD1 and QD2 the drive sits in a mid-table position in the Sequential write results table. However, by QD4 it sits on top of the table and stays there up to QD32 when the test run ends.
