Kingston DC500M 3.84TB SSD Review

4KB Random Read Performance


The official 4K random read IOPS rating for the 3.84TB DC500M is up to 98,000 IOPS a figure that we could confirm with our 4K random read test, the drive peaking at 98,923.7 IOPS at a QD of 32. After the initial burst, it remained very consistent across the tested queue depths, which is what you need from a drive aimed at the data centre environment.

4KB Random Write Performance


The official 4K random write performance for the drive is up to 75,000 IOPS. However, with our 4 threads, 8GB span write test, the drive sailed past this figure, peaking at 88,860.9 IOPS at a QD of 16. Unlike the random read performance, the drive is very consistent from the start of our tests.
