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.

In this test, the read performance of the drive accelerates between QDs 1 and 4 before levelling off between QD4 and 8 before climbing again to finish the test run at 14,301MB/s. The write performance races away but the performance starts to plateau out at QD4 (12,575.2MB/s), finishing the test run at 12,684.2MB/s.

128KB Sequential Read Performance compared.

The 2TB Crucial T705 with Heatsink is the fastest drive we've seen in this test at all the tested queue depths except for QD4, where it sits in second place, just behind Corsair's MP700 PRO SE.

128KB Sequential Write Performance compared.

At QD 1 the drive sits at the bottom of the results chart, by QD2 it sits in a mid position in the results chart. At QDs 4 and 32, it's the fastest drive we've seen in this test to date.
