OCZ RevoDrive X2 100GB PCI-E Solid State Drive Review

OCZ is no stranger to creating some of the fastest solid state drives available. We know this from our reviews of the original RevoDrive and the Vertex 3 drive. Today OCZ has sent us their X2 version of the RevoDrive, which is to be faster and available in larger capacities. It boasts max speeds of 740MB/s read and 720MB/s write and capacities of up to 960GB. If you are a person that always needs to have some of the fastest components available in your system then the RevoDrive X2 is for you. Let’s see if it will become the fastest solid state drive we have tested to date! Special thanks to OCZ for providing us with the RevoDrive X2 100GB PCI-E Solid State Drive to review. The packaging for the RevoDrive X2 looks almost exactly identical to the packaging for the original RevoDrive. On the front there is a large RevoDrive logo and on the back there is some information about the drive and a sticker which shows you the capacity and specifications. Opening the box up there is another one inside with the RevoDrive nicely packed inside of an antistatic bag. If you take everything out you have the RevoDrive X2, a sticker that says “My SSD is Faster than your HDD” and an installation guide.

OCZ RevoDrive X2 100GB PCI Express Hard Drive Review

There are some of us out there that love to live on the bleeding edge of speed. Having the fastest, latest and greatest keeps you on the forefront of technology and ahead of the pack. When it comes to storage, there is a fine line between the speeds that a user wants and the capacities that they need. Solid State Drives (SSDs) have always used the trade off of less space for faster access. To add storage you can combine multiple drives into a RAID array, but you would need an additional drive for each expansion when using a traditional drive setup. SSDs have come a long way since their first introduction with higher capacity memory and faster controllers, such as the SandForce SF-1200 series. Before the RevoDrive, if you wanted to run a RAID setup for SSDs, you needed multiple physical drives and a decent RAID controller. OCZ changed the industry when it released a single drive configuration that runs RAID on a one "drive" setup and onboard RAID all tossed into a PCI Express based configuration with the RevoDrive. OCZ has been in the SSD business for some time and is no stranger to PCI Express based drives, as we have seen with the original RevoDrive and other lines.

OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB PCI Express SSD Review

How can you improve on OCZ Technology’s original RevoDrive (reviewed November 2010), which binds two SandForce SF-1200 SSDs to a PCI-E card? You add another two SSDs for a quad-drive SSD. That’s what OCZ did for the RevoDrive X2. The original RevoDrive topped out at 500MB/s in very specific tests, and hovered around half that speed for most day-to-day usage, which still put it at the very top end of current-gen solid-state devices. OCZ claims the RevoDrive X2 can hit speeds up to 750MMB/s—that’s marketing megabytes per second. Oh yeah, we’re testing that. Like its predecessor, the RevoDrive X2 contains a Pericom PCI-E-to-PCI-X bridge, a SiliconImage SiI3124 PCI/PCI-X-to-SATA controller, a bunch of SandForce SF-1200 controllers, and their attendant NAND. In fact, the only hardware difference between the RevoDrive X2 and the first RevoDrive we tested is the presence of a riser card, which adds another 120GB of NAND flash memory and two more SF-1200 controllers. That’s essentially a RAID 0 of four 60GB solid-state drives. With the x4 PCI-E interface, that means this should be a blazing-fast drive.

ASRock Vision 3D

The solid-state drive market continues to grow at a rapid pace and competition is starting to heat up once again. While there was once just a few controllers worth picking from, half a dozen viable choices occupy the market now. The introduction of the Marvell 88SS9174 controller used by the Crucial RealSSD C300 stirred things up, while the recently released Samsung S3C29MAX01, used exclusively in the Samsung 470 series SSDs, provides yet another great option for consumers. Although a lot of attention is being garnered by these new products, the majority of SSDs are still based on the renowned SandForce SF-1200 controller as it provides some of the best performance, and it's not bad in terms of pricing either. Although there are more SandForce based drives than we care to count, the most notorious would have to be OCZ's Vertex 2. OCZ was quick to jump on the SandForce bandwagon, making the Vertex 2 among the first to ship with this controller. Since then, the company has released many products based on the SF-1200, including the RevoDrive. First announced back in June, the original RevoDrive carried not one, but two SF-1200 controllers in RAID and boasted up to 80,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second).

OCZ RevoDrive X2 Review: Killer SSD Performance

What's this, yet another SSD product tap-dancing its way through the HotHardware lab? It's hard to believe that a product category has so much R&D being poured into it, spurring new releases at such a fevered pitch. The investment in the relatively fledgling storage technology makes perfect sense to us, but the average mainstream consumer probably raises their head to notice only the bigger, more prominent buzz-worthy products hitting the market as of late. There is almost too much in the product category to absorb actually. That being the case, we'd offer folks should tune their storage radar sharply on the product we have on the test bench today. The OCZ RevoDrive X2 is the second coming of OCZ's first gen RevoDrive. This time around the product appears to have bragging rights in terms of performance levels, but at a price point decidedly more aligned with traditional SATA-based SSD solutions, versus other PCI Express SSD cards on the market. When we looked at the first gen RevoDrive back in August, the thin slab of Flash NAND memory and dual SandForce SSD controllers impressed us and served up performance well ahead of traditional SATA SSDs with a price premium in the 30% range (about $3.07 per GB) versus SATA SSDs.
