SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.
Sandra is a (girl) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.
It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.
Native ports for all major operating systems are available:
- Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x86)
- Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x64)
- Windows 2003/R2, 2008/R2* (IA64)
- Windows Mobile 5.x (ARM CE 5.01)
- Windows Mobile 6.x (ARM CE 5.02)
All major technologies are supported and taken advantage of:
- SMP – Multi-Processor
- MC – Multi-Core
- SMT/HT – Hyper-Threading
- MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, FMA – Multi-Media instructions
- GPGPU, DirectX, OpenGL – Graphics
- NUMA – Non-Uniform Memory Access
- AMD64/EM64T/x64 – 64-bit extensions to x86
- IA64 – Intel* Itanium 64-bit
These are staggering results and even higher read speeds than those we tested before with Intel SSD Drives in a Quad Raid configuration.
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?
