The measurement of the TOSHIBA-RD500 was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the TOSHIBA-RD500 under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the TOSHIBA-RD500 should be used.
The Toshiba RD500 is an SSD (Solid State Drive) designed primarily for use in high-performance computers. It is part of Toshiba's NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSD series, which are known for their high speed and efficiency. Here is a detailed description, including technical details, features and application areas of the Toshiba RD500:
Technical details
1. Storage capacity:
- Available in different capacities: 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB.
2. Form factor:
- M.2 2280 (22 mm wide, 80 mm long) – common form factor for laptops and desktops.
3. Interface:
- PCIe Gen3 x4 (4 lanes) with NVMe 1.3 protocol, enabling high bandwidth and low latency.
4. Storage type:
- 3D TLC NAND (Triple-Level Cell) flash memory, which offers a good balance between performance, capacity and cost.
5. Performance:
- Read speed: Up to 3,400 MB/s.
- Write speed: Up to 3,200 MB/s.
- Random Read (4KB, QD32): Up to 685,000 IOPS.
- Random Write (4KB, QD32): Up to 625,000 IOPS.
6. Controllers:
- Toshiba TC58NC1202GST-00-BB, a controller specifically designed for high performance and reliability.
7. Endurance:
- TBW (Total Bytes Written): 400 TB for 500 GB model, 800 TB for 1 TB model, and 1,600 TB for 2 TB model.
8. Operating temperature:
- Operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C.
9. Energy consumption:
- Maximum power consumption of approx. 3.7 W during operation.
10. MTTF (Mean Time to Failure):
- Approximately 1.5 million hours, which indicates high reliability.
Features
1. NVMe 1.3 Protocol:
- Enables more efficient communication between SSD and computer, resulting in lower latency and higher overall performance.
2. Host Memory Buffer (HMB):
- Utilizes the host's system memory (RAM) to increase SSD performance, especially during random read and write operations.
3. Advanced bug fixes:
- Integrated ECC (Error Correction Code) mechanisms to improve data integrity and reliability.
4. Thermal Throttling:
- Protection mechanism that automatically reduces performance at high operating temperatures to prevent overheating and hardware damage.
5. SMART technology:
- Supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology to monitor SSD health and performance.
Areas of application
1. Gaming:
- Ideal for gamers who need fast loading times and high data transfer rates to maximize the performance of their games.
2. Professional applications:
- Suitable for content creators such as video editors, graphic designers and other professional users who need to process large amounts of data quickly.
3. High-Performance Computing:
- Can be used in workstations and high-performance PCs that benefit from high speed and low latency.
4. System upgrades:
- An excellent option for users looking to upgrade their laptops or desktops with a fast, reliable and long-lasting SSD.
5. Data-intensive applications:
- Ideal for database applications, virtualization environments, or other scenarios where high I/O performance is required.
Advantages
- High speeds: Significantly faster than SATA-based SSDs, resulting in shorter boot times, faster program launches and generally smoother performance.
- Durability: High TBW values ​​and advanced error correction mechanisms ensure a long service life.
- Compact form factor: The M.2 2280 form factor is ideal for compact systems such as ultrabooks or mini PCs.
Disadvantages
- Heat generation: Due to its high speed, the SSD may become warm during intensive tasks, which may lead to thermal throttling.
- PCIe Gen3 Limitations: While sufficient for most use cases, the RD500 does not reach the speeds of SSDs that use PCIe Gen4.
The Toshiba RD500 is therefore an excellent choice for users who require high performance, reliability and capacity, be it for gaming, professional applications or simply as an upgrade for a faster overall system.
