OCZ RevoDrive X2 100GB PCI-E Solid State Drive Review

Testing – ATTO Disk Benchmark & CrystalDiskMark
Next up we have ATTO Disk Benchmark that measures transfer rates across specific lengths.  We use ATTO as the definitive benchmark as it is always accurate even with different drives and controllers.

Here we can see that the RevoDrive X2 blows everything out of the water with speeds of 832MB/s read and 639MB/s write!  This makes it the fastest solid state drive we have tested to date!

CrystalDiskMark is our next test and it has a sequential read / write test as well as a 512k and 4k random read / write test.  Keep in mind this test, especially the write tests do not mix well with SandForce processors.

As you can see the RevoDrive drive did great on the read tests, but the write tests were very slow.  This is a problem with all SandForce drives tested with CrystalDiskMark.
