Review: Toshiba RC500 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD - Value at 10 Cents per GB
We review probably the last Toshiba SSD ever, don't worry, merely a name change is inbound (Kioxia). None the less, meet the Toshiba RC500 fabbed under the OCZ label. 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.

Price per GB isn't bad. But the lack of larger sizes makes this worthless.

Since i dont need lots of storage (dont dl stuff), i went ssd only a few years ago, just happened to have a pce 4x adapter to fit another nvme (and get rid of my last ssd),
so this looked interesting.
But even that it wont be more than a storage drive,
numbers are half, vs the 500gb inland i have.
Heck even my 256 gammix s11 is faster.
And so far, i havent seen it being cheaper (80 and up).
Around/below 50$ would be a different story.

@fry178 My main experience between ssds other than building few computers with nvme so i could not work with em a while to get a full picture but on windows operation etc if it was a sata ssd instead of an nvme i would have hard time guessing that and on my personal computer i had windows on an intel 330 ssd 130mb writed 440 reads ... and changed it with an 850 evo .. witch is much much faster ssd .. i noticed no difference at all , i am very confident that nvme ssd's for the majority of people as far they are do not have the worst random access in the category will be the same experience on the majority of the users i am in that majority i guess if you edit 4k and 8k raw video etc then the sequencials come well into play ?

I just bought a 1TB M.2 drive for £100. I'll be installing Red Dead 2 on it, for starters.
