KIOXIA RC500 is a new 500GB M.2 SSD drive

The RC500 SSD is a new NVMe PCI Express 3.0 4x M.2 model that uses a Toshiba controller, 1GB of DDR3 cache and 500GB of 96-layer 3D BICS TLC 3D NAND Flash memory. The 500GB drive offers a speed of 1700MB / sec read and 1600MB / sec write. For random 4KBs, we have 290, 000 IOPs in reading and 390, 000 IOPs in writing.

The SSD is entitled to a 5-year warranty and its price will be 59.99 euros.

In terms of reading, the SSD offers an average of 1513 MB / sec. The maximum the drive achieves is 1692 MB / second and the minimum is 879 MB / second. The access time is 0.021 ms, which is a good number.

In writing, we have the same data rates with an average of 1471 MB / sec. At most we reach 1625 MB / second and at least 893 MB / second. The access time is excellent, 0.012 ms.

In 32 KB we see that the performance is 800 MB / second in reading and 100 MB / second in writing. At most, the SSD reaches 2, 700 MB / sec read and 760 MB / sec write. Reading seems to be very effective, more than expected.
