OCZ Technology has another winner on its hands with the RevoDrive X2 100GB PCI Express SSD! It is hard not to be impressed by an SSD that offers read speeds of up to 740MB/s and write speeds of up to 690MB/s. Top speeds like that are obviously impress...
The OCZ RevoDrive X2 is one of the fastest storage options available and isn't much more expensive than a standard SSD of the same capacity. However a lack of TRIM support, lower IOPS with tiny files and its limitation to desktop PCs means we’d prefer...

There is no doubt that the RevoDrive X2 is one of the fastest solid state drive solutions available today, even with SATA 6GB/s solid state drives coming out they still cannot beat the RevoDrive X2! When I originally reviewed the first RevoDrive I was...
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...
Short of an enterprise drive like the Z-Drive R3, the RevoDrive X2 is currently the fastest consumer level solid state drive that OCZ offers. There are other names that produce PCIe SSDs, such as Fusion-io, but as of writing all of their product revi...
As we've said before and we'll continue to hammer any chance we can get, the single biggest bottleneck in modern systems is the traditional plattered hard drive. Using an SSD in your system will make such a massive difference that you'll want to cry if...
If you’re a typical desktop user, OCZ’s RevoDrive X2 is like an AR-15 rifle in California. It’s cool to own, but it’s expensive and you can’t really use it the way it was designed to be used. For those of you who do know what the PCI Express-based driv...
The OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB is an interesting product that delivered both impressive and disappointing results in our evaluation. First, the RevoDrive X2 got off to an excellent start with our file copy testing, delivering 3-4 times more performance th...
