Just when you thought that Solid State Drive performance was hitting a little bit of an impasse, OCZ have not only managed to boost the throughput bandwidth considerably, but they are offering the RevoDrive X2 240GB at a price point that many people wouldn't have thought possible this time last year.
The performance figures are really quite incredible and this product makes even the latest Sandforce SATA based drives look lethargic in comparison. The 4k IOPS performance is around 120,000 which has increased from 75,000 quoted on the original RevoDrive.
Currently the pricing in the UK is very healthy, with Scan offering the 240GB product for £516.11 inc vat. It is certainly not a product the ‘average' enthusiast will be queuing up to buy, but the performance user with a higher quota of disposal income will find this drive will enhance their overall system performance, to the next level.
We are impressed with not only the performance levels that OCZ are managing to achieve with their latest technology, but also the aggressive pricing with every new update.
Kitguru says: Slotting one of these into a performance system is the equivalent of adding rocket fuel. System responsiveness is unparalleled.
Amazing how far this technology is going now. is Sata dead? hell it might need an update if we want these levels of performance. even sata 6 drives look crap in comparison to this baby.
Price is really good, I saw a 256 data ssd for just under 500
Excllent, fascinating design with the daughtercard good pics
Wonder why they don’t sell it it two parts to let people get the basic product cheaper then upgrade later…
I thought you gave the Level 10 away? Don’t tell me you just shipped it to Ireland!
Excellent design, price aint too shabby either considering the performance. Way out of my league however, need a system upgrade first.
Id like one of these, do they make them in smaller sizes? 500+ is a bit much for me.
@ WasserHHund – Hard to believe i know, but Thermaltake made more than one Level 10 case. We actually have three. Send me your address ill ship you one 😉 Germany via Manchester or Scotland right?
@ Thomas – yes they make a 100GB version http://www.scan.co.uk/products/100gb-ocz-revo-drive-x2-bootable-ssd-4-x-sandforce-1222-pci-e-x4-r-740mb-s-w-690mb-s-100k-iops?source=froogle&utm_campaign=googlebase&utm_medium=googlebase&utm_source=googlebase&utm_term=100GB+OCZ+Revo+Drive+X2+Bootable+SSD+4+x+Sandforce+1222+PCI-E+x4+R+740MB%2Fs+W+690MB%2Fs+100K+IOPS
Its still a lot of dosh. 2TB HD is 70 quid now. slower? sure, but SSD is still much too expensive for most people.
Cool thanks, think you could show me how to overclock a system later if I email you? really been struggling with that this year. cheers man.
Never mind the ssd, can I have the camera?
Does anyone know if the Revodrive can be used with VMware ESXi or XenServer 5.6?
