We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random write 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.

The drive peaked at 327,205 IOPS in the 4K random write test, but just like the random read result, it's nowhere near the official maximum of 1,000,000 IOPS.

4K Sustained Random Write v QD Performance compared.

In terms of the drives around it, the T-Force Cardea A440 Pro Special Series performs best at QD1, it drops down the table at QD2 before recovering at QD's 4 and 32.
