As with the ATTO benchmark we could confirm the official Sequential performance figures for the drive with our own 128KB Sequential tests. The drive peaked at 3,473.95MB/s for reads, just shy of the official 3,500MB/s read figure while the writes peaked at 3,085.92MB/s, a smidgen better than the official 3,000MB/s.

128KB Sequential Read v QD Performance

The CS3030 hold its performance as the queue depth deepens with the exception of QD4 where it drops down the chart, but at QD32 it's firmly in the top half of the results chart.

128KB Sequential Write v QD Performance

When it comes to Sequential write performance versus queue depth, the CS3030 remains pretty consistent across the queue depths we tested it at.
