I believe there's a very specific niche that is interested in something like the RevoDrive 3. A customer that needs the performance and is too resource limited to go after the more expensive solutions on the market. I believe it's a lot like what we...

Absurdly fast, especially in 4KB random reads and writes; great real-world results

Absurdly expensive; half again the price of Vertex 3s in RAID

Earlier RevoDrives were marketed to enthusiasts, but you’ll find the RevoDrive3 X2 under the “Workstation” category on OCZ’s website—with good reason: SandForce drives are already optimized for frequent small-file random reads and writes at high queue...

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, and using an SSD in your system will make such a massive difference that you'll want to...

While the RevoDrive 3 series is not going to fit into everyone's budget, it is simply one of the best storage options on the market, consumer or otherwise.

Delivers 226,470 IOPS in Iometer tests ; Outstanding 1568/1402 MBps read/write speed with ATTO ; Provides primary boot drive PCI-E SSD capability ; TCG OPAL security with 256-bit AES encryption ; SandForce SF-2281 processor supports TRIM, SMART, and...

SCSI architecture prohibits TRIM with Windows OS ; Expensive high-performance storage product

Crazy fast, completely stable, feature packed and unbeatable.

Huge bandwidth available at 1.5G/s read and 1.2GB/s write ; Fastest PCMark Vantage score we've seen to date ; Bootable ; Elegant design with native PCIe SuperScale processor ; Reasonably priced for product in its class

Still a few driver and firmware bugs holding back performance and functionality in certain cases

The OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 took to our battery of synthetic and real-world benchmarks with surprising top-end performance in all but corner case test conditions (IOMeter workloads). Even then, OCZ's new PCI Express-based SSD offered very competitive...

Both models represented a new way of economically bundling multiple SSD controllers behind an integrated RAID solution. This broke the mold for storage, as the vast majority of end users were stuck with the common 2.5" form factor SATA SSD (as well as...

Redesigned for the better, the RevoDrive 3 X2 is an amazing piece of hardware that not only nearly doubles up on the previous generation in max speed but now offers the all important TRIM to keep that performance going strong long term.
