Performance at the lower end of the NVMe spectrum
“Toshiba shows that you don’t have to follow the norm to create a good drive. The OCZ RC100 delivers better than SATA performance in a tiny size and with an efficient design.”
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...

The RC100 is Toshiba's contribution to the growing field of entry-level NVMe SSDs, and it is distinctive in several ways: the small form factor based on a BGA SSD, its use of the relatively rare NVMe Host Memory Buffer feature, and its fairly low maximum...
Unless there are hefty price cuts down the road, those looking for a performant NVMe drive will have to look elsewhere, as the RC100 offers poor performance even for a value-based SSD.Toshiba RC100...

From the get-go, Toshiba is pricing the OCZ RC100 very competitively with MSRPs that are right on the edge of SATA prices, $0.32-0.33 per GB. It delivers a respectable amount of TBW per capacity as well as a 3-year warranty. After putting the RC100 throug...
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
If you're penny-pinching, or on a weight-reduction kick, the RC100 will save you quite a bit of coin and a gram or so. I'm giving it the nod with the caveat that it's not as suitable for heavy workloads as the competition. It's a very nice little upgrade...
The Toshiba OCZ RC100 series was designed to be a cost-effective, solid-performing PCIe NVMe drive aimed at the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) market. The nice thing about the Toshiba RC100 is that it uses all Toshiba components. The 64-layer 3D TLC NAND Flash, con...
Sequentials Low Compared To Mid-Range NVMe SSDs, Relatively High Write Latency
Toshiba OCZ RC100 Solid State Drives - Find Them At AmazonThe Toshiba OCZ RC100 family of drives should be available immediately from all of the usual suspects, like Amazon, NewEgg, etc. Suggested pricing the drives is as follows:OCZ RC100, 120GB - $59.99...
Good to see more companies pushing the envelope with smaller SSD packages, Decent sequential performance given low power consumption
Moderate workloads were sufficient to overload the cache / impact performance
It's great to see Toshiba squeezing a PCIe NVMe SSD into an M.2 2242 form factor, especially a power efficient one, but with those efforts came some compromises in terms of the performance capabilities of this new RC100 product line. Sequential performanc...
