We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random read performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.

Transfer Request Size: 4KB, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

Officially the Solidigm is rated as up 1,400,000 IOPS for 4K random reads. With our four-threaded testing, we couldn't get close to this figure, the best we saw was 390,029 IOPS at a QD of 8.

4K Random Read v QD Performance Comparison.

At QDs 2 and 4, the P44 Pro is the fastest 1TB class drive we've seen to date with test results of 158,552 IOPS and 289,169 IOPS respectively. To give an idea of how much faster the P44 Pro is over the P41 Plus, the latter produced a figure of 118,813 IOPS at QD2 and 169,494 IOPS at OD4.
