OCZ RevoDrive 120GB PCI-Express SSD

Quote: OCZ has been on the cutting edge of SSDs since they hit the consumer marke t and are on the pioneer trail once again with their most affordable PCI-Ex press based SSD yet – the RevoDrive. As implied, this isnt their first PCI -E drive but it is the first that carries a price tag that rivals that of t he more traditional SATA port based SSDs. At an MSRP of $349 for the 120GB version (part number OCZSSDPX-1RVD0120), they arent what you would conside r inexpensive for storage devices in general, but considering the performan ce, hardware onboard and pricing of similar capacity SSDs, the price point is rather impressive. The RevoDrive features a pair of Sandforce SF-1200 co ntrollers in a RAID 0 configuration – all on one card. Think of it like the NVIDIA SLI and ATI Crossfire cards with dual GPUs on one card. You get al l the benefits of a traditional RAID 0 configuration without the hassle and expense of multiple drives and add-in RAID controller cards. Weve seen th e performance of just one Sandforce based drive begin to hit the SATA II ba ndwidth ceiling, and moving to a higher bandwidth interface will really all ow the RevoDrive to stretch its legs…
