Performance
Interface: PCIe® 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2 NVMe™ 2.0. It can operate at either PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds or at the same bandwidth as PCIe 4.0 when connected to a PCIe 5.0 x2 slot.
Sequential Read Speed (up to): 7,150 MB/s.
Sequential Write Speed (up to): 6,300 MB/s.
Random Read (up to): 850,000 IOPS (4KB, QD32).
Random Write (up to): 1,350,000 IOPS (4KB, QD32).
Write Technology: Features Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0, which uses a portion of the NAND flash as an SLC buffer to accelerate write speeds.
