Samsung quotes a random 4K read figure of up to 1m IOPS for the 1TB SSD980 PRO (QD32 16T). Needless to say with our 4-threaded tests we couldn't get anywhere close to that figure with 372,579 IOPS.

4K Random Read v QD Performance Compared

In our testing, the SSD980 PRO tops the results charts at QD's 1 (79,462 IOPS) and 4 (193,082 IOPS) but at a QD of 32, the drive sits behind Patriot's Viper VP4100 and the Seagate FireCuda 520.
