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. The original design was amazing in offering PCI Express based storage technology to consumers and the RevoDrive X2 builds on that model and makes it even faster and with higher capacities. The RevoDrive X2 offers capacities up to 960GB in size with a maximum read speed of 740MB/s and a maximum write speed of 720MB/s based on the drive configuration. Top that off with a three year warranty and a two million hour mean time before failure and you have a solid piece of hardware ready to do some damage. The RevoDrive series was made with speed in mind. Combining multiple banks of SSDs onto a PC Board and linking them together in a RAID-0 design improves read and write speeds for maximum throughput. If you were impressed with the two drive setup, as I was with the original RevoDrive, then you will be just as excited with the RevoDrive X2.
