Features and Specifications
Direct from OCZ!
| PCI-E Solid State Drive / Workstation-Class / 230,000 IOPS / 240GB-960GB
Designed with power users and multimedia designers in mind, the RevoDrive 3 X2 SSD Series provides the ultimate storage solution for intensive workstation applications with maximum performance and a sophisticated feature-set based on OCZ’s proprietary Virtualized Controller Architecture 2.0 (VCA) technology and OCZ’s SuperScale storage accelerator. The RevoDrive 3 X2 provides unique benefits to users by incorporating features from the VCA 2.0 flash virtualization software that allow certain direct memory access (DMA) and data management functions. Included in this feature-set are OCZ’s exclusive command queuing and queue balancing algorithms, which can be handled by the onboard processing core for higher performance and reduced burden on the host resources. VCA 2.0 is also the only virtualization layer in the industry with TRIM and SCSI unmap support to enhance sustained performance and provide greater endurance by significantly reducing the overhead associated with garbage collection. Furthermore, VCA also offers consolidated SMART support and provides system administrators with advanced features for monitoring, analyzing, and reporting device attributes. With an all-new architecture, the RevoDrive 3 X2 shatters its predecessor’s performance record and is faster than comparable solutions ten times the price. Eliminating the SATA bottleneck,the PCIe-based Revo3 X 2 delivers ground-breaking 1.5GB/s of bandwidth and 230,000 4KB random write IOPS making this an ideal SSD for high performance applications,multimedia,and workstations. Additionally, the Revo3 X2 offers up to an ample 960GB capacity for users in media development and management looking for more storage room. Available in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities, the OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 provides exceptional performance and reliability features for data warehousing, applications, multimedia files, and operating systems with the superior durability, and energy efficiency of SSDs. |

We have the 240GB version here, so those are the specs to look at. The 480/960 flavors have 30k higher IOPS ratings, likely because all the flash chip locations are populated, giving the controllers more flexibility in where they put things.
