8KB Random Read / Write Performance
We also tested the drive using an 8KB data block and 8 threads which is much more typical of an enterprise environment, again using a 16GB span. In this test the read performance peaked at a queue depth of 64 at 427,053 IOPS before dropping back to finish the test run at 343,376 IOPS.
The write performance was a much smoother affair with a gently climb to a peak of 398,292 IOPS at a QD of 128 and ending the test at 398,085 IOPS.
