128KB Sequential Read Performance v QD
At a queue depth of 1, the XG6 doesn't perform that well but it soon picks up performance through QD's 2 and 4. It also performs well at a deeper queue depth of 32.
128KB Sequential Write Performance v QD
When it comes to Sequential write performance, the XG6 shows a good degree of consistency through the tested queue depth range. At a QD of 32 it just manages to take over the top spot on the chart from the Corsair Force MP510.
