Crucial T700 2TB with Heatsink SSD Review

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.

As with the random read results with our four threaded random write tests, we couldn't get close to the official maximum of 1,500K IOPS. The best we saw from testing was 486,257 IOPS (QD16).

4K Random Write v QD comparison.

Even though our test results couldn't get anywhere near the official figure, the drive still ranks as the fastest consumer NVMe drive we've seen to date at QD1. In all the other tested queue depths the drive sits behind the Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 10000 and the standard version of the T700.
