We used CrystalDiskMark 8’s custom settings to test the 4K 70/30 mixed read/write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths using a single thread and four threads.

Using a single thread, the performance of the NV2 climbs pretty slowly from 11,241 IOPS at QD1 to 18,991 IOPS at QD4 where the drive picks up speed as the queue depth deepens to finish at 74,406 IOPS at QD32. Using four threads the performance starts climbing rapidly from QD2.
