Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this drive on another site based on a recommendation from someone I respect. After checking ocz's site for motherboard compatibility, I made the plunge. The initial setup was a breeze as I had disconnected all my hard drives prior to installing windows (I highly recommend this, otherwise windows will install some boot files to the other drives). I had a problem after attaching my 4 other SATA drives where my motherboard didn't want to boot to the revodrive when it saw thie others. I fixed this by changing my SATA mode from IDE to AHCI. After this and setting the boot priority mode to the revodrive, everything worked fine. Windows 7 ultimate boots in about 7 seconds and benchmarks show read/write speeds of up to 742MB/s. That's crazy fast. So I recommend this drive to anyone with some moderate skills with pc building with the admonition to read the motherboard compatibility list and your motherboard manual. Compatibility list can be found here [...]
Happy trails.

The RevoDrive X2 uses an onboard RAID 0 design by employing four SandForce-1200 controllers 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. Available in 100GB to 960GB capacities, the OCZ RevoDrive X2 provides ample room for data warehousing, applications, multimedia files, and operating systems. The RevoDrive X2 is backed by a 3-year warranty and tech support for the ultimate peace of mind for your high-performance hardware investment.While the RevoDrive X2 will simply plug and play for the vast majority of platforms for these particular motherboards OCZ recommends the following: -Asus Crosshair IV – Please check with motherboard manufacturer for BIOS update to enable boot over PCIe. -Biostar T-Power I45: RevoDrive is only detected in Slot 1 AND only if a PCIe GPU is used. -DFI DK-X58-T3EH6: Not detected in PCIe Slot 2 (x4 slot). -EVGA X758 SLI – Please check with motherboard manufacturer for BIOS update to enable Boot over PCIe.-Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Not detected in slots 1,3,4 (it is detected in 2,5,6) -XFX 780i SLI – Bios must be upgraded to P09 (or later).
