Just when you thought that Solid State Drive performance was hitting a little bit of an impasse, OCZ have not only managed to boost the throughput bandwidth considerably, but they are offering the RevoDrive X2 240GB at a price point that many people wouldn't have thought possible this time last year.
The performance figures are really quite incredible and this product makes even the latest Sandforce SATA based drives look lethargic in comparison. The 4k IOPS performance is around 120,000 which has increased from 75,000 quoted on the original RevoDrive.
Currently the pricing in the UK is very healthy, with Scan offering the 240GB product for £516.11 inc vat. It is certainly not a product the ‘average' enthusiast will be queuing up to buy, but the performance user with a higher quota of disposal income will find this drive will enhance their overall system performance, to the next level.
We are impressed with not only the performance levels that OCZ are managing to achieve with their latest technology, but also the aggressive pricing with every new update.
Kitguru says: Slotting one of these into a performance system is the equivalent of adding rocket fuel. System responsiveness is unparalleled.
