This drive promised to deliver up to 14000 MB/s read and 12000 MB/s write, and well, it simply beat both those figures by a small amount. Well, I say a small amount, 138-181 MB/s above is still a bit more than the speed of a good quality mechanical hard drive, so overall, these speeds are pretty darn fantastic.

The IOPS looks solid too, with strong SEQ1M read and write, and typically I would expect to see over 250K from the RND4K and it’s sitting pretty at 260K+, so again, it’s performing just slightly above where we expected.

Unsurprisingly, things continue to go well, with short test resulting in a very fast transfer time of small files, with a speed of around 200 MB/s.

Moving up to larger files, moving 50GB, the drive used around 3381 MB/s, again not the max speed, but this is size is nothing for such an extreme drive, and the task only took 15 seconds to complete.

We can see that the drive gets up to its peak write speed from around 512KB, and the write speed from around 2MB. Of course, the whole thing is so damn fast that moving small files is still extremely quick anyway.

There’s no doubt that this is one of the fastest SSDs we’ve ever tested, not the actual fastest, as there are similar drives that compete very well, but that doesn’t taken anything away from these speeds or impressively fast response times.

AS SSD always shows lower results than our CDM benchmark, however, at nearly 10,000 MB/s it’s still some of the highest scores we’ve seen in this test.

Loading times for ISO, Program and Game tests are extremely quick, all well under one second.

And again, we see consistent results here in the IOPS for read and write, all very fast and a very high overall score.

For compression, there’s a couple of dips in the write speed, but the drive is instantly back up to speed after each, so these are likely just the drive waiting for the CPU to catch up, and these quick response times from the drive will keep things running very smooth.

When it comes to recording 5K uncompressed HDR video, uhm, yeah that’s obviously not going to be a problem, you could record multiple streams in real time on this drive and it still wouldn’t max it out.

Final Fantasy XIV has a built in benchmark, and as you can see, all five scenes load in under 3 seconds, three of them under 2 seconds, so you won’t be looking at loading screens very long at all.

It’s unlikely the drive will ever cause stuttering from mid-game loading either, with extremely fast average access times when loading, saving, or capturing while gaming.

And best of all, the drive typically ran around 50c under moderate load, and only saw a peak of 73c under extreme loads, so that heatsink is doing a fantastic job. Keep in mind, without a heatsink, this drive would go over 100c very quickly and the performance would throttle, but obviously, that didn’t happen here.
