Benchmark Reviews and Funky Kit have reviewed the brand new OCZ RevoDrive X2, an updated higher performance version of the original RevoDrive PCI-Express SSD card.

Here's what they had to say:

  • Benchmark Reviews: OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB SSD PCI-E Card Review:

    "In our benchmark tests, the RevoDrive X2 delivered 831/688 MBps peak read and write speeds using ATTO Disk Benchmark. 831 MB/s measured in ATTO clearly exceeds the manufacturer's 740 MB/s specified maximum read speed, making this the fastest storage solution Benchmark Reviews has ever tested. Operational performance measured 112061 IOPS when tested with a queue depth of 32 using Iometer. Developers needing top-end operational speeds and functionality for their demanding applications can certainly expect as much from the OCZ RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express SSD. Linear speed tests with the AIDA64 Disk Benchmark produced a solid 756 MBps read speed, which is above spec, but dirty NAND combined with lacking TRIM support caused a lackluster 368 MBps peak write speed when the drive was filled."

  • Funky Kit: OCZ RevoDrive X2 100GB SSD PCI-E Card Review:

    "Once again, OCZ have delivered a PCI-E based SSD card that just blows everything out of the water. If you're a power workstation user or hardcore extreme enthusiast, who needs that extra speed to power through intensive applications, then the RevoDrive X2 is for you. It offers outstanding performance that almost match their flagship IBIS, which uses their new proprietary HSDL interface."

If you don't want to manually setup a four-drive RAID-0 SSD configuration, the RevoDrive X2 is definitely a worthwhile alternative. A+
