We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.

Transfer Request Size: 4KB, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

When it comes to random writes, the drive is pretty consistent in performance from QD2 to QD32, averaging 265,214 IOPS for the five tested queue depths. It peaks at QD16 with a test result of 265,849 IOPS before dropping back to finish the test run at QD32 with 265,783 IOPS.

Random Write v QD compared.

 

In the random write tests, the drive performs best in comparison to the drives around it at QD2 where it sits in the top 10 of drives tested. At QDs 1, 4 and 32 it sits much further down the chart.
