OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid 1TB HDD/SSD Review

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

The first run was very impressive, peaking at around 980 MB/s read and 790 MB/s write.

The second run improves overall performance from 0.5k to 4k although we noticed a few drops around 512k and 1024k. 256k read performance peaked around 900 MB/s.

The third run improved performance in almost all sections of the results especially between 64k and 1024k. Subsequent runs didn't really improve performance any further, with only minor fluctuation between runs.

Compare against:

The RevoDrive Hybrid slots in directly behind the RevoDrive 3 x2 480GB, which is a considerable distance in front.

  1. yay, kudos to OCZ. about time 🙂

  2. Thats really good. Didnt think that would be possible. Is it just for Windows 7 ?

  3. I was wondering when something like this would be released, and it came quicker than I imagined. There will always be a trade off with a mechanical drive in the mix, but they seem to have it narrowed down a good bit.

  4. great stuff. been waiting for something like this. reckon they could make a 2.5 inch drive like this? obviously it would be much thicker in dimensions and not practical for a laptop, but for a desktop? would make a lot of sense. 1TB sata 6GBps drive right at the limits of the platform for about £350?

  5. This is really incredible. 1tb for under £400 at this speed? OCZ really do lead the way in SSD tech.

  6. How do I know if my motherboard can support this? ive read some dont allow for booting.?

  7. Its still a fair bit of cash. are they making a smaller size? 500gb would be great for £200 🙂

  8. lousy drive for money. seagate has similar pci-e drive with 10X performance for same money.

    what bollocks. 10GB/s read via a 2.5 inch drive and SSD combo for £400? lol.

  10. Nought to do,

    I believe that Segate makes a drive in 300GB and 500GB sizes that is a hybrid SSD and mechanical HDD. I’m pretty sure that it even fits into a laptop. Now, I’m not sure about relative performance and they are pretty pricey for what they are but they do exhist.

    Now this OCZ drive, that is a nice piece. I would probably use something like this on my media PC for encoding purposes or the like. My RAID setup seems to slow down when running a lot of reads and writes. I bet that this would be substantially better at doing those type of things.
