Toshiba RC500 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD review




We review probably the last Toshiba SSD ever, as a name change is inbound (Kioxia). None the less, meet the Toshiba RC500. A value proposition at NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 performance in that 2 GB/sec range. The prices? How does this sound: 500GB for 59 EUR / 49 USD. Yeah, these are BiCS 96-layer alright.

@hh
might wanna correct that:
product is backed by a 50 year warranty
@0blivious
go with generic "samsung" clone from Inland/Microcenter.
almost twice as fast, and goes up to 2TB.
@Venix
or not.
i will always keep one, just to use as a 2nd backup in a secure location
(fire/water/theft), just in case my ssd (backup) dies,
as they dont lose data without power (for longer periods) and can be recovered much easier.

After that review i'd be asking to show me it not throttling with a heat spreader because 81C is toasty and maybe a heat spreader wouldn't be enough to stop it from throttling in the first place.

Looks like a solid upgrade for a laptop or maybe a reasonably cheap OS drive. 500GB is feeling kind of limited these days.
Kloxia? Toshiba will be known as Kloxia soon? Not sure I like the sound of that.
