Storage devices have come quite far in the last few years. We have seen terabyte drives which expand our storage capabilities beyond imagination, solid state drives that break the speed barrier faster than a jet engine and new device interfaces that make transferring data quicker than toasting a piece of bread. With all that being said, nothing has really given us the head spinning wow factor, until now that is. When you think of a hard drive, you picture a square 2.5 or 3.5 inch box to which you hook up your power and data cables which need to be routed and kept neat. Then, you have to find space in your drive bay which might be full or not the right size. Well, how about a drive that doesn't use any of those elements yet is simple to install and get running?Today I present to you the "drive of drives", the OCZ RevoDrive 50GB PCIe Solid State Drive. This drive throws out what we picture as a hard drive and turns it into essentially an expansion card. The RevoDrive is a fully bootable solid state drive that uses a PCI Express x4 slot for power and to transfer data. This eliminates the bottlenecks caused by some SATA controllers and drives, allowing for much higher read and write speeds. The RevoDrive comes in several capacities ranging from 50GB for the budget conscious user all the way up to 480GB for the extreme speed and storage junkie. OCZ is no stranger to the PCIe solid state drives arena but the RevoDrive marks the first time a PCIe drive has had the ability to have the OS installed and be bootable. The RevoDrive really revolutionizes the way that digital storage may be contained in a system in the future. If you are as excited about this review as I am, how about we dive right in and take a look at the drive in all of its glory?
