OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB review

 

The RevoDrive doubles its capacity, but is this PCIe SSD worth it?

Very, very quick ; Gets around the current SATA I/O limitations ; Not that expensive when you realise how much hardware's on the PCB

Performance isn't consistent across the board

If you work with very large or highly compressed files and have the budget, then adding the RevoDrive X2 to your system makes perfect sense. For the rest of us, well, we can dream...

OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB review

 

The latest solid-state drives (SSDs) are much faster than older models, with some capable of read and write speeds up to 400MB/sec and beyond. That's around four times the speed of most hard disks.

The OCZ RevoDrive X2 is one of the fastest storage options available and isn't much more expensive than a standard SSD of the same capacity. However a lack of TRIM support, lower IOPS with tiny files and its limitation to desktop PCs means we’d prefer...

OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB review

 

As an alternative to an SSD in your PC's hard disk bay, why not try this super-fast PCI Express card SSD, with capacity up to 960GB.

OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB Review

 

Kitguru has reviewed a wide cross section of SSD's since we opened earlier this year, but today we are looking at something a little different. OCZ have been at the forefront of SSD development, continually pushing the technology into new and exciting...

Kitguru says: Slotting one of these into a performance system is the equivalent of adding rocket fuel. System responsiveness is unparalleled.

Review: OCZ RevoDrive X2 - 100Gb SSD PCI-E Card

 

According to OCZ, the RevoDrive X2 offers upto 120,000 IOPS (Input/output Operations Per Second), with a maximum read speed of up to 740 MB/s and a maximum write speed of around 690 MB/s. The RevoDrive X2, like the original RevoDrive is aimed at the...

SSD RevoDrive X2 de OCZ no decepciona en los análisis

 

muy rápido. De hecho, los chicos de Hot Hardware no han dudado en catalogarla como "una de las soluciones SSD PCI Express más rápidas" que han probado, ofreciendo resultados similares a los del ioXtreme de Fusion-io con un precio más bajo. En Tweak...

A Quick Look at OCZ's RevoDrive x2: IBIS Performance without HSDL

 

A week after I previewed OCZ's IBIS and the HSDL interface , SandForce revealed the specs of its next-generation enterprise SSD controller . The specs for the SF-2000 series call for up to 500MB/s sequential reads and writes, nearly saturating the...

OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB PCI Express SSD Review

 

How can you improve on OCZ Technology's original RevoDrive (reviewed November 2010), which binds two SandForce SF-1200 SSDs to a PCI-E card? You add another two SSDs for a quad-drive SSD. That's what OCZ did for the RevoDrive X2.

Incredible speeds in high-load and real-world tests; no SATA cables required; bootable

Finicky with some motherboards; pricey; no Trim support

With capacities that range from 100GB to 960GB, the RevoDrive X2 makes a disk-less PC seem almost feasible—if you don’t mind dropping a bundle of money. The 960GB version is a cool $3,300, while the 240GB model we tested goes for $600. It’s a tempting...

OCZ RevoDrive X2 160GB PCIe SSD

 

Solid State Drives have come a long way over the past few years and OCZ has actually been one of the companies that have constantly pushed the boundaries of "standard" SSDs into sometime different. They don't settle for technology that has limitations...

Very fast performance ; On-board RAID 0 array ; Available up to 960GB

Expensive ; Motherboard compatibility is limited

OCZ has pushed the boundaries on performance with their RevoDrive units, but they certainly aren't for everyone. The performance potential of these units is incredible, but you have to remember that you'll need an extra PCIe 4x slot available....
