Keep in mind these measurements are in a per second basis. I.e. 5k I/Os served in 0.5s (perhaps that was all which was required) and then 0 i/os in the next 0.5s would show as 2500 IOPs total. This does not necessarily mean that your SSD is doing the best that can possibly be done. Not that I disagree, it is just that your particular test does not prove it.
