OCZ's RevoDrive 350 is a decent value next to rivals by Asus
Mushkin and others
It's easier than dealing with separate SSDs
And it's crazy fast by modern standards.
The editors didn't like
Nothing to mention at the moment.
Low Queue Depth response time and IOPS remains limited by SandForce controllers
Lack of NVMe support translates to greater CPU penalty per IO
240GB model is excessively costly given the specs list it at half the performance
Possible performance issues
High Access Times
Very Expensive
Limited top-end capacity
Price puts it out of reach for many
It's pricey. Not outrageous compared to 2011's RevoDrive 3 X2 and not exactly a bad value
But at $530 the 240GB model costs almost as much as our entire budget box.

For the RevoDrive 350 480GB (1GB byte = 1,000,000,000 bytes) drive, the end user winds up with 447GiB (1GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes) of addressable space which includes the roughly 7% chunk set aside as spare area. For the most part, if you want to excee...
Considering OCZ's new RevoDrive 350 on the whole, here's what we're looking at: This new OCZ PCI Express SSD is built better, with a simpler, more elegant design that has fewer points of failure and less complexity. It's also built with newer, 19nm, lower...
We have some exciting times ahead of us alright, this year we'll see 10 Gbps interfaces like the M2 port take off, bringing performance close to say 700 - 800 MB/sec on a small SSD that you inject onto your motherboard. Those that do not have such an int...
Flash technology is simply getting too fast for the SATA interface, as it can’t handle the technology’s growing potential due to hardware limitations. To remedy this, businesses and professionals--who are able to spend a bit more money--are looking to...

Given that the OCZ Vector 150 and Vertex 460 are both based on the Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller and paired with Toshiba's 19nm MLC NAND, we are surprised that the RevoDrive 350 reverts to the LSI SandForce 2282 -- a controller used back in 2011 by the d...

Abstract: Back when OCZ released the RevoDrive 3 X2 in 2011, it was the fastest SSD for desktop users that we had seen. Using PCI Express, it eliminated the SATA bottleneck that most SSDs still face today while also offering hassle-free RAID, though it wasn't witho...
The OCZ RevoDrive 350 PCIe solid state drive is a great drive that is positioned towards workstation PC users, but would make one amazing upgrade to any gaming rig. Of course, that's if your pockets can handle it....

The OCZ RevoDrive 350 PCIe x8 SSD enters the market at a time where the consumer and business interests seek quality, performance and value. Performing at just under 2GB/s with 145K IOPS and with a very low MSRP for this type of performance, the revo 350...
Final Thoughts ]Given that the OCZ Vector 150 and Vertex 460 are both based on the Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller and paired with Toshiba’s 19nm MLC NAND we are surprised by the controller choice for the RevoDrive 350. Going back to the LSI SandForce...
