But Samsung 950 Pro is far more consistent for the money
None the we found
Does not support hardware based encryption
More expensive than SATA SSDs
We feel the RD400 has priced many OCZ fans out of the NVMe game. The market will determine the final selling price or these drives will sit in warehouses. The 1 TB offering is a nice product but the $700price only appeals to a small market. With that in m

It's been a while since OCZ really launched a top of the line, high-performance drive that I'd really purchase. While some of the older Vector drives were relatively good in their time, they were outmatched in cost and performance by competing Samsung dri...

Expensive compared to SATA drives
If your system supports NVMe, spend the money. Yes, if you opt for a normal SATA SSD, you'll be pleased. But if you opt for an NVMe SSD, you'll be amazed. It really is the best performance upgrade you can buy, bar none.As far as the RD400 is concerned, st...

Before we deliver a verdict, let's reduce the RD400's performance characteristics to a single overall rating. We distill the overall performance rating using an older SATA SSD as a baseline. To compare each drive, we then take the geometric mean of a bas...
