Samsung quote maximum read/write Sequential performance for the drive as up to 3,500MB/s for reads and 3,000 for writes. With our own Sequential testing, we could confirm that maximum read figure with a result of 3,564.97MB/s at QD32. Writes on the other hand came up short of the official figure at 2,800.79MB/s at QD32.

128KB Sequential Read v QD performance comparison

The drive sits at the bottom of our result chart at QD1 but rises steadily up it as the queue depth deepens, finally ending up in the third spot at QD32 behind two other Samsung drives, the SSD970 EVO and 970 PRO.
