Introducing a new breed of enthusiast storage, the OCZ RD400 NVM Express™ M.2 solid state drive series, designed to propel high-end computing into a new realm of possibility. The OCZ RD400 PCIe Gen3 x4 outperforms SATA SSDs by over 4.5 times in sequential read (up to 2,600 MB/s), and over 3 times in sequential write performance (up to 1,600 MB/s) so your system won’t be deprived of the storage bandwidth your data-intensive workload requires.* The OCZ RD400’s next generation NVMe interface provides a more responsive PC experience with shorter storage latency than that of today’s traditional hard disk drives and SATA SSDs. Along with high performance, the OCZ RD400 is designed for mobile, desktop, or workstation applications.
* This reflects maximum performance of RD400 512GB compared to VT180 480GB.
Game-changing Storage
TOSHIBA’s new OCZ RD400 SSD redefines high performance storage for enthusiasts and hardcore gamers that feel held back by commodity storage hardware. With over 200,000 IOPS @4KiB of random read performance at your beck and call, the OCZ RD400 will be your next high-end system.
Get in the PCI Express Lane
Why keep using an interface that was designed for hard disk drives? PCI Express revolutionizes flash storage for tomorrow’s high-speed computing age. The OCZ RD400 boosts bandwidth and puts your data in the fast lane leaving SATA SSDs in the dust.
NVMe Interface
Utilizing NVMe technology, the OCZ RD400 reduces latency in your system’s I/O path between the drive and your CPU, resulting in smooth and responsive performance.
Good Things Come in Small Packages
The OCZ RD400’s compact M.2 2280 form factor packs in high performance and up to 1024GB of storage capacity, enabling high-end desktop speeds to exist not only in your notebook, but directly on your motherboard without taking up a PCIe slot.
Flexibility for the Future
If you want to harness the power of NVMe now but don’t want to upgrade your motherboard yet, the OCZ RD400 is available with an M.2 PCIe adaptor add-in-card. This option allows your investment to go the distance when you opt for an M.2 platform in the future.

- Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
- A kibibyte (KiB) means 210, or 1,024 bytes, a mebibyte (MiB) means 220, or 1,048,576 bytes, and a gibibyte (GiB) means 230, or 1,073,471,824 bytes.
- IOPS: Input Output Per Second (or the number of I/O operations per second)
- MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTTF.
- Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.

OCZ RD400 Media Reviews
Our user experience while running the RD400 as our OS disk is really as good as it gets. Even though the RD400 is OCZ's first stab at a consumer-based NVMe SSD, the RD400 is a polished piece of hardware. All three drives we reviewed performed flawlessly in every aspect and we didn't just test with empty secondary volumes, we installed Windows, drivers, and programs from scratch on each of the three drives we tested. – TweakTown
Looking back at the performance the OCZ RD400 has to offer during our grueling benchmarking sessions, it is without a doubt we can say it is one of the best consumer drives out on the market. The OCZ RD400 is so good we just had to give it out Editor’s Choice award! – The SSD Review
This revival of the RevoDrive product line shifts to a very speedy PCIe 3 x4 interface, and the Toshiba controller (lifted from their XG3) makes good use of the NVMe protocol. – PC Perspective
Overall the Toshiba OCZ RD400 512GB is an excellent drive with great performance, great pricing, a great warranty program, and now it’s even backed by the Toshiba name. – Custom PC Review
There’s absolutely no denying the fact that the Toshiba / OCZ collaboration is starting to bear some high performance fruit. The RD400 is among the fastest SSD’s we’ve tested to date. – Hardware Canucks
The Toshiba OCZ RD400 offers great performance across the board and by offering it in models ranging from 128GB to 1TB, it also broadens the choice for consumers…Long gone are the days of high performance offered at a high price as Toshiba shows that it is possible to offer a very fast yet affordable solution to the prosumers and gamers. – Hardware Luxx
It might be fair to say that the Toshiba OCZ RD400 is a true pro-sumer SSD, as you get the best of both worlds. It’s blistering fast with both consumer and professional workloads. It’s very energy efficient when working. It also initializes the fastest of any of the NVMe SSDs that I have tested, and is the fastest to the Windows 10 desktop, if this is important to you. All in all, the Toshiba OCZ RD400 M.2 NVMe SSD is outstanding, so much so, that I have chosen to use the RD400 as my system drive. – Myce
We really like the Toshiba OCZ RD 400 series SSDs. Not only do these drives offer very strong performance, but they’re available in a wide variety of capacities in both M.2 “gumstick” and PCIe add-in card form factors. Pricing will also be competitive on these drives. – HotHardware
Moving on to ATTO, you can see we changed things just a bit in how we report the data in the graph. This should be more clear to look at now with the bolded values representing the MB/s the drive is putting through. Here we see the OCZ(RD400) drive ramp up a bit slower at 4K, but hits its stride as the sizes get larger. It peaked higher than any other drive, in fact at nearly 2700 MB/s on 1MB and 4MB sizes. When we take a look at writes, it again ramps up a little behind the other drives in 4K, but then wipes everyone out from 64K on up. – Overclockers
Watching the OCZ RD400A 512GB benchmark against all the other SSDs we have tested in the past is like watching an Olympic heavyweight boxer fight a bunch of five year old kids: There is simply no competition. – APH Networks
Toshiba’s OCZ RD400 SSD is clearly an enthusiast drive. While it can easily shake off the competition as shown in all our benchmarks, it particularly shines when transferring large files…Long story short: If you want to get the maximum performance from your PC, it is difficult to get past the new OCZ SSD. – Game Zoom
The Toshiba OCZ RD400 offers great performance across the board and by offering it in models ranging from 128GB to 1TB, it also broadens the choice for consumers…Long gone are the days of high performance offered at a high price as Toshiba shows that it is possible to offer a very fast yet affordable solution to the prosumers and gamers. – Golem
With the OCZ RD400 PCIe SSD, Toshiba leaps to the top tier of fastest SSDs for consumers. – Computer Base
The performance is just mind-blowing and the NVMe standard helps push the boundaries of how fast SSDs can be. Should you be an enthusiast or a professional looking for a fast M.2 drive, then we can recommend this drive beyond a shadow of a doubt. – Ocaholic
The RD400 is not meant for average consumers but for the enthusiasts who absolutely demand the fastest hardware available. For them, the RD400 is definitely worth considering. Not only is it capable of delivering competitive performance, it is also priced very aggressively. In addition, the fact that it comes with 1TB as an option is something that only a few manufacturers are able to deliver. – Bjorn3D
