But the > average random write speed also drops a lot, I think it is now a good news, which need attention! I tried your test and got quite variable results but did not see a drop: CQ 4K 8K 16K Random Write 10,374 KB/s 9,669 KB/s 10,712 KB/s Non-CQ 4K 8K 16K Random Write 9,898 KB/s 8,747 KB/s 9,098 KB/s But given the variability of results I would not conclude CQ was faster. I would suggest you run more tests and see if the trend continues.
