Toshiba Memory Europe (TME) has announced that its RC100 series of NVMe™ (NVM Express™) M.2 SSDs is now available. First unveiled at CES 2018, the new RC100 series is targeted at the DIY retail market and features a powerful and cost-effective design to make the benefits of NVMe storage accessible to more users than ever before.

Toshiba's OCZ RC100 series is well-suited to the entire spectrum of mainstream computing: from desktop and gaming laptops to mini PCs (NUCs) and everything in between. The new drives are available in 120, 240, and 480 GB capacities.

While the performance advantages of first-generation NVMe drives are well-known, this high performance has come at an equally high cost—until now. By leveraging its advanced 64-layer, 3-bit-per-cell BiCS FLASH™ TLC (triple-cell level) technology and an in-house developed controller, Toshiba Memory Corporation has been able to fit an entire SSD into a single BGA package. The RC100 series balances cost and performance, bridging the gap between SATA and NVMe SSDs. Its compact design also allows the RC100 series to fit on an M.2 2242 (22x42 mm) PCB, making it one of the smallest commercially available SSD series.

In addition to being affordable, the RC100 SSD series is designed to be efficient, consuming approximately 70% of the active power consumption of the best NVMe drives and giving mobile device users longer battery life anywhere.

"With the RC100 series, we aim to offer compact and efficient NVMe SSDs at a more affordable price," says Paul Rowan, general manager of the SSD business unit at Toshiba Memory Europe.
