ok goobs,,,,help me understand why i would buy this? A 240 SSD card is about half that now...
and a 500gb HDD is 1/4 the price for double the space. It's all about the performance, which it has a lot of. "Features speeds of up to 1000 MB/s read and up to 900 MB/s write speeds."
It's a different connection than SATA. This uses the PCIE 4x slot. Most newer computers have them but I always find the video card gets in the way. Anyway, it hits much higher speeds than most of the newer SATA drives and gives an overall cleaner design to a case.
Reviews are mixed but few negatives about outright failure.
Check OCZ FORUMS on issues with this before you plunk down the money
Matters what you want. If you ahve a system made for speed, this thing will be great. But if you have some bargin crap pc, this is not for you!
From the OCZ product page: "Note: Before installing the RevoDrive it is important to check the settings/capabilities on my motherboard. If you plan on using the RevoDrive as a boot drive please check that my motherboard supports boot over PCI-E, and note that due to limited option ROM space, it is often not possible to use the RevoDrive while the Onboard RAID Controller is enabled on many motherboards."
This is the future of hard drives but I wouldn't touch one from this company.
