Synthetic tests are useful to gauge overall performance of a product such as this, but the real proof is in the real world, day to day testing. These aren't totally scientific, but they are a solid indication of what you can expect if you bought one for a system build.
Copying a 1GB video file took around 2 seconds, according to our digital watch, verified with repeated runs. Mixed file and folder performance was also exceptionally potent – duplicating a 3GB folder in around 12 seconds. To get things into perspective this took around 40 seconds with a standard high performance SSD drive and just short of 5 minutes with a performance mechanical unit.
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?
