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 4-threads, the drive peaked at 324,987 IOPS (QD16) in our 4K random 70/30 read/write tests before slipping back slightly to finish the test run at 323,961 IOPS. Using a single thread the drive peaked at 112,179 IOPS at the end of the test run. With both thread tests, the rate of performance increase slows from QD16 onwards.
