We used CrystalDiskMark 8 to test the random performance of the drive at lower queue depths (QD1 – QD8 where most of the everyday workloads occur) using 1 to 4 threads.

4K Random Read.

In our lower queue depth, 4K random read tests there are no unexpected shocks as the performance smoothly increases as the queue depth deepens for each tested thread. At QD1 the performance ranged from a low point of 20,757 IOPS (85.02MB/s) for a single thread up to 83,945 IOPS (343MB/s) for four threads. At QD8 a single thread produced 158,758 IOPS (650MB/s), two threads 263,214 IOPS (1078MB/s), three threads 401,160 IOPs (1,643MB/s) and finally with four threads, 499,083 IOPS (2,044MB/s).

4K Random Write.

In the 4K write performance tests the performance rose quickly from QD1 to QD2, especially using three and four threads but then levelled off for the remainder of the test run for all the tested threads.
