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

In the 4K Random Read QD1 – QD8 series of tests the performance of the 1TB P44 climbs smoothly through the queue depths with all the tested threads.

Using a single thread the performance ranges from 21,383 IOPS (87MB/s) at QD1 up to 135,730 IOPS (555MB/s) at QD8. Using four threads the QD1 performance rises to 82,138 IOPS (336MB/s) and while the QD8 performance rices to 390,029 IOPS (1,515MB/s)

Random Writes

When it comes to 4K random writes, each thread tested peaked at QD2 before the performance seemed to plateau out.
