In a perfect world we would all be able to afford 480GB monster SSDs like the RevoDrive 3 x2 but until prices come down by a fair amount, standard
Very impressive sequential performance ; Impressive real world performance ; Offers 1TB of space ; Does not require any SATA ports to work ; Caches only the most frequently used data ; Intelligently sends real time I/O requests to the SSD as well as...
Price ; CPU utilization is excessive ; Not an ?out of the box? solution as software is required for it work ; Must be used as OS drive otherwise software will use your existing hdd instead of the on-board hard drive ; Hard drive is not end-user...
The idea of a hybrid storage solution that combines the capacity of a traditional hard drive with SSD performance isn?t anything new but it
Expert review by : Taimoor Hafeez (tbreak.com)
Taking hybrid storage to the next level.
Performance as good as regular SSD, Transfer speeds are incredibly high, High storage capacity
High entry price, If something goes wrong, both SSD & HDD will be unusable
Ideally you’ll be using the RevoDrive Hybrid as a bootable drive, because after installing Windows 7, you’ll need to download the Dataplex software from OCZ’s website as well. Dataplex, however, can only be downloaded once you enter the CDkey that...

The new OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid RC2 1TB is one of the fastest and most interesting devices of its kind, it needs no messy cables and utilizes a more or less unused PCIe 4X slot on your motherboard offering performance competing with two SATA3 SSDs in RAID...

OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid 1TB PCI-E SSD/HDD Unboxing
Expert review by : Allyn Malventano (pcper.com)
Back in 2006, storage tech talk was intermittently buzzy with a few different innovations. One was wrapped around the pending release of Windows Vista, particularly two bullets on its feature list: ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive. In parallel with all of the...

OCZ has taken on the challenge to merge SSD access time with mechanical large capacity storage.
Expert review by : Olin Coles (benchmarkreviews.com)
That moment when solid state drive technology can offer the high capacity of large hard disk counterparts is nearly here. OCZ Technology, a pioneer in the SSD market, combines their experience with both SATA and PCI-Express SSDs to offer the OCZ...

SCSI architecture prohibits TRIM with Windows OS ; Expensive high-performance storage product ; Dataplex software requires active Internet connection to install
IMPORTANT: Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure...
Expert review by : Marco Chiappetta (hothardware.com)
VCA (Virtualized Controller Architecture) 2.0. The first product to arrive was the RevoDrive 3 X2, which is a high-end, PCI Express SSD targeted at ultra-enthusiasts and workstation customers. Then came the extreme OCZ Z-Drive R4 PCIe SSD, which caters...
Super Fast Under Ideal Conditions ; Tiny and no power connectors required ; Cache algo works very quickly
Somewhat pricey ; Slow HD speeds with uncached data ; Must be installed as the boot volume (currently)
The OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid's performance is difficult to characterize. On some levels, the RevoDrive Hybrid offers exceptional performance, as we saw in the ATTO benchmark. Although not part of any specific benchmark, the RevoDrive Hybrid also performed...

If you're tempted to buy a PCI Express-based SSD and add your own conventional storage, OCZ's RevoDrive Hybrid could might suit you. A 120 GB SSD and 1 TB of disk space come together on a four-lane PCIe card to serve up an advanced caching solution.
Expert review by : Nathan Kirsch (legitreviews.com)
What happens when you take the screamingly fast, PCI-E based OCZ RevoDrive and physically pair it with a 1TB hard drive? You get the best of both storage worlds with both high speed and high capacity. But can the RevoDrive Hybrid compare favorably to a...
OCZ's RevoDrive Hybrid, their latest twist on the PCI-E SSD genre, is something that users without SATA III supporting hardware may give serious consideration to, but those that have more modern boards have more compelling options to choose from.
