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...
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...

The RC100 is Toshiba's second NVMe consumer drive, and the company's first drive aimed at the entry level NVMe market. It's a sign of just how fast technology is advancing that we actually have an entry level market segment for this type of drive. Even...
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...

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...

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...
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,...
