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.

@fry178 i have a feeling that those extra 30 second came from an hhd user except if the stage indeed is 12gb raw map !
https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/toshiba-rc500-500gb-nvme-m-2-ssd-review,10.html although i would love to be proven wrong , i have yet to see any at least half decent ssd lagging more than 1-2 seconds behind an nvme when it comes to games

Thats what most people think.
Once you start loading games you start to see the difference.
Even at 400mb/s read, loading siege held up the whole team for another 30s after everyone was "ready", when with the nvme (1-2000mb/s)loadin it, it went straight to the map.
Going from SATA to NVMe isn't noticeable to everyone. I just recently went from a Crucial MX300 525GB to an Intel 660P 1TB.... Zero perceivable improvement in bootup or loading times. The only difference I've noticed, came from having a larger drive, and that's having actual free space on the drive....

Benchmarks say the same thing. The main advantage a SSD has over a(ny) regular HDD is the access-speeds which are tremendously better. NVMe doesn't improve on this.
