We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the Sequential read and write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.
Transfer Request Size: 128KB, Thread(s): 1, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.
128KB Sequential Read / Write.
Using the custom CrystalDiskMark 8 settings we could confirm the official Sequential figures for the drive with a read test result of 7,503.11MB/s and a write result of 6,600.49MB/s, both at QD32.
128KB Sequential Read performance v QD compared.
At the lower tested queue depths (1-4) the drive sits around the mid-table position in our Sequential read chart but at QD32 it sits on top of the pile.
128KB Sequential Write performance v QD compared.
When it comes to Sequential writes, the drive sits around mid-table in our result chart for all the tested queue depths.
