Abstract: Solid state drives are fast, cutting edge hardware, but most of them are very similar and provide fairly similar performance. The typical 128GB SSD fits into a 2.5″ format, connects via SATA , and is able to provide read performance of up to 200 MB/s and ...
During the testing process the OCZ RevoDrive proved to be everything I was expecting and more. The drive is fast, very fast and even while our internal benchmarks had it coming up short of its advertised max read and write ratings, the real-world perfo...
The fastest drive we have ever tested, Impressive 531MB/s read and 448MB/s write in ATTO, Bootable, Available in many different capacities, 3 year warranty

Let me first say for the record that this is the fastest hard drive we have ever tested here at ThinkComputers! It has the fastest scores in HDTune and in ATTO Disk Benchmark! The ATTO scores were extremely impressive at 531MB/s read and 448MB/s writ...
OCZ is taking the solid state drive in a different direction with the RevoDrive and I personally believe they are on to something much bigger than most may realize. Sure, as we mentioned earlier, storage over add-in card slots isn't new, but it hasn'...
As we've said before and we'll continue to hammer any chance we can get, the single biggest bottleneck in modern systems is indeed the traditional plattered hard drive, and using an SSD in your system will make such a massive difference that you'll wan...

IMPORTANT: Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure...
While the performance of the Revo when handling compressible files (as in the ATTO test) is fantastic, the obvious performance drop that hits the Revo following heavy use is a huge cause for concern. Following heavy use, the card was actually slower th...
The RevoDrive is a nice step forward in the land of high-performance Flash based storage devices. We however have to admit that performance here and there certainly is not yet up-to snuff in all conditions we threw at it. At certain benchmarks the Rev...
When I very first heard about the OCZ RevoDrive, truth be told I was a bit of a skeptic. I figured just like past PCIe SSDs, it wouldn't be bootable, and later when I was told that it was in fact bootable, I then naturally assumed the price would ensu...
