Review: Toshiba OCZ RC100 240GB M.2. SSD - NVMe under 30 Cents per GB

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/15/2018 08:04 AM | source: | 13 comment(s)

We review the new Toshiba OCZ RC100 240GB NVMe SSD. You can look at the product series as the affordable alternative, but on NVMe nothing is slow. This affordable series really fast (relatively speaking) with a rated sequential read speed up to 1600 MB/s and sequential write speed up to 1100MB/s. That's twice to three time as fast as a regular 2.5" SSD, for the same money.

Very good job w/ that price and speed. I would very much like to have 500~1000GB version.

I don't know. There seem to a few too many compromises made about this one.
It may be dirt cheap, but the performance looks pretty bad for NVMe SSD. And the cooling, that's bad.

Actually quite impressive results considering how the drive is constructed. The cooling problem makes sense since with the smaller size, all the heat is also concentrated. If I ever get any M.2 drive, I'll buy a cooling element at the same time, no doubt.

I still have my 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 and is where my Windows is installed and other Software, games and videos are on other Hard Drives.

129€ for 480GB is not very good tho, while is certainly faster than a EVO 860 500GB as a gamer these hard drives (even the 970 Pro) bring little improvements in load times, plus the 860 EVO is cheaper by 10€ and offers a few more GB and has a lot more TBW.
