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.
128KB Sequential Read / Write.
Transfer Request Size: 128KB, Thread(s): 1, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.
In these Sequential tests we could confirm the official read rating of up to 14,700MB/s with a result of 14,698MB/s with the write result a bit further back of the official maximum of 13,400MB/s but definitely in the ballpark with a test result of 13,324MB/s.
128KB Sequential Read v QD compared.
The drive takes top spot in every queue depth we tested at and by quite a margin at QD's 1, 2 and 4. However, at QD32 the gap between the Samsung SSD 9100 Pro and the rest is very much narrower.
128KB Sequential Write v QD compared.
When it comes to Sequential write performance, the drive doesn't do anywhere near as well, sitting very near the bottom of the chart at QD1 but climbing up the chart at the remaining queue depths, ending up in second place behind the 4TB version of Biwin's Black Opal C570 Pro drive at QD32.
