The RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express SSD is an innovative storage solution that focuses on increased performance and capacity to serve high-performance computing consumers, upgrading the original by delivering unprecendented speeds and incredible capacities for enthusiasts and prosumers to make the most of their desktops and workstations. The RevoDrive family gets its edge by eliminating the SATA II (3Gbps) bottleneck and leveraging a PCIe x4 interface to exploit the full potential of current flash technology, delivering superior speeds over 730MB/s sequential speeds and random small file writes up to 120,000 IOPS, nearly triple the throughput of other high-end SATA based solutions. Like the original RevoDrive, the X2 uses an onboard RAID 0 design, but it also employs four SandForce-1200 controllers versus two in the original to maximize data access and bandwidth. Unlike competing PCIe solutions the RevoDrive X2 is bootable, ensuring the satisfaction of quicker start-ups, load times, and computing, all while promoting cooler, quieter, and more energy efficient conditions compared to traditional mechanical hard drives.
