Toshiba: OCZ RD400 NVMe SSD Series From 128GB to 1,024GB

15nm MLC NAND, R/W speeds up to 2,600MB/s and 1,600MB/s

Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. announces the OCZ RD400 NVMe[1]) SSD series.

Designed for notebooks and PCs, the PCIe [2]) RD400 series provides improved storage bandwidth and enhanced latency[3] resulting in a fast and responsive computing experience.

Unlike SATA-based SSDs utilizing the legacy Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) protocol, NVMe is a storage protocol designed with SSDs in mind making the RD400 series one of Toshiba’s fastest consumer SSDs to date. Additionally, the RD400’s PCIe Gen3 x4 lane interface shatters the traditional SATA bottleneck by delivering over four times the performance of SATA SSDs[4]. The RD400 series features sequential R/W speeds of up to 2,600MB/s and 1,600MB/s and random R/W performance of up to 210,000 and 140,000 4KB[5] IO/s[6].

The launch of the new Toshiba OCZ RD400 SSD series delivers enthusiast-level performance in both a compact M.2 and adapter card form factors to provide end-users with high bandwidth and platform flexibility for next-generation NVMe and PCIe mobile and desktop systems,” said Steve Fingerhut, SVP and GM of SSD BU, Toshiba America Electronic Components. “The RD400 gets back to the OCZ brand’s enthusiast roots and offers power-users, gamers, and professionals a cutting-edge storage solution designed to support demanding consumer applications.”

The RD400 series is targeted at both desktop and notebook users, but the compact M.2 2280 form factor enables ultra-thin notebooks[7] to take advantage of PCIe speeds. Desktop users can still harness the power of the RD400 even if they don’t have an M.2 slot by purchasing the PCIe adaptor card version. Both models will be available in capacities of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1,024GB[8].

RD400 SSDs feature Toshiba 15nm MLC NAND flash memory and an endurance rating of up to 592TBW[9]. Each drive is backed by a 5-year advanced warranty program[10] that strives to minimize the aggravation surrounding traditional support and warranty claims.
