We used CrystalDiskMark 8 to test the random performance of the drive at lower queue depths (QD1 – QD8 where most of the everyday workloads occur) using 1 to 4 threads.
Random Reads
The 2TB Patriot Viper VP4300 read performance climbs smoothly throughout the tested queue depths and threads with a peak performance figure of 344,813 IOPS (1,412MB/s) at QD8 using 4 threads.
Random Writes
In the write tests, the best performance figure we saw was the 348,998 IOPS (1,429MB/s) using 4 threads at a QD of 8.
