  • With the release of the RevoDrive X2 once again comes a product that fits that OCZ profile oh so well. It's sexy and reaaaaaaahly fast. Where we had some reservations with the first revision RevoDrive, this X2 model makes up for everything. The sheer perf...

  • Competitive cost/GB (excellent when considering peers in its field), Less demanding on host system resources when compared to ioDrive, Bootable
  • SandForce controller pricing still higher than much of the SSD competition
  • The RevoDrive x2 builds on the excellent performance of the original RevoDrive. It turned in some excellent figures, pushing past much of the competition, and nipping at the heels of enterprise-class SSD gear from Fusion-IO. Cost/GB is a bit higher than t...

  • OCZ has taken the already impressive RevoDrive and kicked it up to a whole new level with the RevoDrive X2. It simply rocks. It's hands-down the fastest SSD we have used and its elegant simplicity in use and installation makes it all the more appeali...

  • Somewhat complex design with more possible points of failure, No TRIM support
  • To be honest, we really didn't expect to see the RevoDrive X2 go toe to toe with the Fusion-io ioXtreme PCI Express-based SSD, but that's exactly what it did and it did so in a smash-mouth sort of fashion, especially when you consider the cost of Fusion-i...

  • The RevoDrive x2, like its predecessor, continues to be a very niche product. Both sequential and random performance are measured in the multiple hundreds of megabytes per second. Like all SandForce drives, the RevoDrive x2's performance is highly depende...

  • Very fast performance, On-board RAID 0 array, Available up to 960GB
  • Expensive, Motherboard compatibility is limited
  • OCZ has pushed the boundaries on performance with their RevoDrive units, but they certainly aren't for everyone. The performance potential of these units is incredible, but you have to remember that you'll need an extra PCIe 4x slot available. Furthermore...
