With an MSRP of $155, the OCZ RC100 comes it around the price of a premium SATA SSD but certainly not the cheapest PCIe based SSD out there. It IS, however, one of the smallest and offers great performance. Toshiba's single-chip solution eschews a local D...
Faster than SATA-based SSDs, Small and compact form factor, Price, Low power, OCZ SSD toolboc
Slower than high-performance NVMe SSDs, Runs a little hot (no throttling though)
Toshiba's whole idea with the OCZ RC100 was to bring NVMe to everyone and I think for the most part they were able to. This drive lives up to its advertised speeds of 1600 MB/s read and 1050 MB/s write and the Host Memory Buffer tech works as evident by t...
Affordable prices, Small and light enough to fit into a laptop,
Slow performance compared to other SSDs (but much faster than a hard drive), Relatively short three-year warranty
Even though Toshiba's RC100 is the slowest M.2 NVMe SSD we've tested, it's still a kick in the pants after SATA. And because it's so thin and light, it's a worthy laptop upgrade...
The Toshiba/OCZ RC100 fills a large gap of performance between the ‘standard' 2.5″ SATA based SSDs and the PCIe/NVMe based drives in terms of performance as well as price. On the performance side, users are paying around 44 cents per GB for the Samsung 97...

Abstract: Back in June Toshiba introduced the RC100 NVMe solid-state drive as a new low-end offering. The RC100 is now a bit blindsided by Intel's just-launched 660p SSD that delivers incredible storage capacities per dollar, and I'll have some Intel 660p Linux ben...

With the MP300, Corsair is seeking to offer an ‘entry level' NVMe drive that fills a gap in performance and price between SATA drives and ‘premium' NVMe drives. From a performance point of view Corsair has achieved its objective. However, from a price poi...

Solid utility's, Relatively high performance at times, Fits a niche form factor, HMB Good for Performance
Inconsistent performance, Higher end SATA drives can be faster, Price should come down to beat comparable drives
All in all, this is a rather impressive drive for its size and the HMB gave it some really solid performance. That being said when pushed to its limits it definitely shows its weaknesses. At least in my testing suite, Anandtech had a similar experience wi...
Compact form factor, Good real-life results, Much higher sequential speeds than SATA, Affordable, 3-year warranty, User-switchable, between 512 byte and 4K sectors
Low random write performance, Price needs to be lower, Peak transfer speeds not as high as on PCIe x4 SSDs, A little bit of thermal throttling when heavily loaded and not cooled, Requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update for Host Memory Buffer support
The Toshiba OCZ RC100 480 GB currently retails for $155. Compact form factor Good real-life results Much higher sequential speeds than SATA Affordable 3-year warranty User-switchable, between 512 byte and 4K sectors Low random write performance Price need...

The RC100 faced its share of struggles throughout our test suite. We distill the overall performance rating using an older SATA SSD as a baseline. To compare each drive, we then take the geometric mean of a basket of results from our test suite. Well, th...

Small physical size (M.2 Type-2242) ideal for laptop upgrades, Good value,
Maximum capacity is 480GB, Uses slower TLC NAND
Bridging the gap between enthusiast PCIe and budget SATA M.2 SSDs, the Toshiba RC100 is a good choice for upgrading an ultraportable or a mini-desktop, or as a complement to a larger hard drive...
