Revo drive 120gb driver

Thanks for your feedback. OCZ forums. Additionally, I would have you contact OCZ further assistance-. OCZ Support. This thread is locked.

Its read transfer rate benchmark measures speed across the entire drive, giving us an idea of how fast it is over its entire span.

Access time was low as is the case with most SSDs, but at 0. A Windows 7 image loaded with our test suite was cloned to a 50GB partition at the beginning of each drive and our entire test suite was run start to finish 3 times. Average times were collected for comparison. The RevoDrive dominated our application performance tests, breaking records in both. This is the first time an SSD has decisively defeated performance hard drives in our TrueCrypt test which consists of creating a large encrypted file container.

The RevoDrive also excelled in our ExactFile test which involves creating a MD5 checksum file of our test suite folder. To gauge the overall performance of the drives, we assigned a score of 25 to the drive that excelled most in each benchmark series loading, application, file copying, and installation and the rest proportionally, giving each benchmark set an equal weighting.

If a drive is the fastest in all categories, it receives a perfect score. The RevoDrive completed our test suite with the best overall score of just under 89, noticeably higher than the next fastest drive.

We derived power consumption figures from the RevoDrive indirectly by measuring its overall power draw on a system compared to an identical test configuration with a previously tested drive.

By our estimates it consumed approximately 5. Compare to a single Vertex 2, the RevoDrive used eight times as much power. As solid state drives have no spinning platters or moving parts of any kind, they are effectively silent storage devices. It is possible that there could be a tiny bit of electronic noise typically a high pitched squeal being emitted, either intermittently depending on task, or continuously, but we never heard a thing, even in the anechoic chamber with ear pressed right up against it.

As always we present to you our most recent vibration, noise, and power consumption tables for previously tested hard drives.

Tested SSDs were not included as they generated no vibration or audible noise. It is true, however, that large portions of our test suite consist of pre-compressed data which may have had a negative impact on SandForce performance. We were also disappointed that it lacks both TRIM and garbage collection to prevent performance degradation over time; this lack may be the fatal flaw which cuts short the life cycle of this product in the marketplace.

The most interesting thing about the RevoDrive is the interface. Is it worth the extra cost over a single Vertex 2? For many potential buyers, the answer is probably no, but that can be said of most computer components in its price range.

A super-fast drive is a luxury that every user would like to have, but not many would be willing to plunk down that much cash for one. They're both comparable computers i 3 to mine. Disk Mark computerA Pros: This drive screams. It's insanely fast, running intesive 3D modeling software would be very jittery on my sata6GB drive but when I switched over to the Revodrive it fixed all the performance problems I had.

I love how fast windows 7 boots up and how fast all my applications load. Get this Drive but make sure your motherboard can support it! Cons: Depending on your motherboard it can be a pain to get it to run as primary boot drive. OCZ tech support and forums are awesome and I was quickly able to find the info I needed to get the drive working correctly with my Asus Sabertooth X58 Motherboard.

Pros: Very Fast. I have 2 1. I installed the Revodrive's x64 Windows 7 driver into Windows. I imaged my C partition using Shadowprotect. I put the card in and it showed up immediately. I'm lazy so I did it the easy way. I changed the boot order so the Revo was the boot drive, aligned it and installed the driver and a Clean copy of Windows 7 x Speeds: CrystalDiskMark 3.

Cons: Not a big deal, but I had to rebuild the Raid before I was able to install Windows 7 64bit on it. Just press F4 during the boot of your computer, remove the logical raid volume and recreate it.

Cons: My third drive has already failed. Newegg graciously replaced my DOA Revodrive. That one work for about 3 months until the the RAID controller failed showing only 1 55gb drive. Well now my third drive's RAID controller failed too. Its about a week turnaround with shipping old on out and waiting for new one. I can't have this sort of failure rate. Looks awesome and has nice blue LED indicator lights. Windows 7 x64 boots faster than I can pour another cup of coffee. This is not OCZ's fault so I still give this 5 eggs.

Supposedly speed will degrade with time but I still think this is a great product and an innovative version of SSD. The final upgrade to my workstation!
