Abstract: We have in our labs the OCZ Revodrive, a high performance PCIe Solid State Drive (SSD) for consumer applications in desktops and workstation PCs. Moving beyond the bottleneck of SATA II, the RevoDrive features a PCI-E interface and promises to deliver ...
The 80 GB OCZ Revodrive performed very well in all tests and performs about as well as two individual drives connected through an Intel Southbridge. Write speeds are slightly diminished, however, compared to two individual 40 GB drives in RAID0, though...
The OCZ RevoDrive 120GB is easily the fastest SSD we've tested and was particularly dominant in our file copy and application tests. However, as it is essentially composed of a pair of SandForce-based SSDs running in RAID 0, we were expecting more tha...

We have entered a brave new world in data storage. This may seem like a bold claim but this drive device is a whole new spin on bootable drives. It is a new age in computers and OCZ appears to be leading the way. As we all know the traditional HDD was...

As a system memory manufacturer, OCZ Technology could always be counted on to raise the performance bar through innovative new designs. Now that they have decided to concentrate on solid state drives, it can be seen that the same spirit that made thei...

The performance of the RevoDrive is excellent. There is no doubt that the RevoDrive will get the job done faster. The RevoDrive is priced slightly higher than SSDs at similar capacity, yet performs faster than those drives due to the RAID 0 configurat...
The OCZ RevoDrive is one hell of a drive. We have yet to test anything like it, or even as fast for that matter. With maximum Read speeds of 513MB/s and Write speeds of 434MB/s, according to our ATTO test, the Revo definitely performed as advertised. T...
Abstract: The considerable reduction in flash memory prices has helped solid state drives reach the mass market and disrupted the long-established trends and traditions of top-performance storage systems. There used to be but one way to achieve high disk subsyst...
Abstract: For some people, fast isn’t fast enough. They aren’t content unless they’re at the bleeding edge of gadget speed. Maybe waiting more than 3 seconds for an application to launch kicks in their ADHD. For whatever reason to need the speed, OCZ’s new SSD ...
Abstract: As opposed to the slowly developing HDD market (our recent roundup covered the entire year), solid state drives are evolving at a much more rapid rate and bringing us more news in a shorter period. There are SSD products with new controllers, with PCI ...
