Ever since we spent a while with OCZ’s RevoDrive Hybrid back at Computex , we eagerly awaited its arrival in order that it may be put through its paces. Well, the time has come for the $500 storage mongrel to stand the music and for us to determine if it adds as much as greater than the sum of its SSD and HDD parts. Hot Hardware found the RevoDrive Hybrid delivered on its promise of mind-blowing peak transfer speeds of just about 1GBps, with performance which may only be matched by dual SATA III SSDs in a RAID 0 setup. Everyone spoke well of the Dataplex software that manages the RevoDrive’s caching, because it dutifully maxed out performance once it learned usage patterns. TRIM support was a welcome feature, but all noted the niggle that it need to be used because the system boot device, so it can’t pull duty as secondary storage. All in all, the consensus is that while the RevoDrive Hybrid can be too pricey for some, it is a darn good buy for the performance it provides. In fact, you do not have to take our word for it, so dig into the entire reviews on the sources below.
