Toshiba OCZ RC100 480GB M.2 NVMe SSD Review

NVMe based M.2 drives have been in the consumer landscape for a couple of years now. Typically these blazing fast mass storage devices come with a much higher price per gigabyte than its 2.5″/7mm SATA based cousins. As time has gone on, more players entered the market and budget oriented NVMe M.2 drives started to appear lowering the price per gigabyte while still being faster than SATA based drives. In this case, Toshiba OCZ has sent us the RC100 480GB M.2 NVMe SSD to review.

This drive is their first low-end entry and is promising sequential read/write speeds of up to 1600/1100 respectively. While these numbers are not what some may be used to in an NVMe based drive, it is still much faster than its SATA counterparts. The RC100 stacks the SSD controller and flash memory in a single Ball Grid Array (BGA) package which yields a smaller footprint. We will take a look at the drive size, performance, and pricing in this review seeing how it compares to other NVMe based drives.
