Meh. Wake me up when SSD's don't require wear-leveling algorithms and aren't prone do data evaporation....]]>Jun 2nd 2010 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/

wakeup and learn that your rant doesn't matter, and you could have bought an ssd one, two years ago and enjoy them without having any of the bloghypeissues you claim they exist.

maybe, then, you wouldn't be that negative.. :) i am, at least, not. i'm, instead, gladly enjoying all the benefits of ssds, well worth more money than the rest of the pc actually :)]]>Jun 3rd 2010 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/
Had he bought that SSD two years ago, like the ones in my boss's laptop, he would have replaced them with a platter drive due to it all but failing. Both him and the accountant had identical laptops, same SSD (they were 10 units apart on the on the production line), and both have been replaced in the last 3 months.

I will say that SSD's have greatly improved since than though, and I would trust my data on one now.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/Jun 2nd 2010 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/
I agree. I was not shocked by the price. In fact, as long as the numbers are high (or low, depending on the benchmark), im now rarely shocked by SSD prices.

They are worth every penny.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/read / write times of nearly 540MB/sec

Did you not read the part about 20 Gb/s transfer speeds? That's nearly enough to saturate Light Peak. Who knows, maybe we'll have a storage system fast enough to keep up with optical interface after all.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/With the current evolution of technology, said speed will be laughed at in around 10 years, just like we did before with our wonderful "500kb/sec transfer speed~!" and such.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/Jun 3rd 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/Jun 2nd 2010 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/Actually makes a desktop seem attractive.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/Jun 2nd 2010 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/Jun 2nd 2010 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/
There is no technical reason I would think that would prevent it from doing so. PCIe (well most of them) is usually connected to the southbridge just like SATA]]>Jun 2nd 2010 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/

As it stands, I just don't see the average joe-computer builder having that many extra PCI-e slots for this... or the $400 bucks for 120GB, but hey, early adoption grants you early wallet evaporation.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/
you suckers deserve losing every penny they take from you.

For the record, SSDs are great. I own a x-25m myself. But linear throughput is by far not the most important feature for the vast majority of usage profiles. ]]>Jun 3rd 2010 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/
The Revo will have 540 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write speeds with a 75k IOPS rating on 4k random writes. That totally destroys your SSD. You are the sucker!!!!!]]>Jun 3rd 2010 5:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/Jun 3rd 2010 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ocz-reveals-consumer-level-revodrive-pcie-ssd-blazing-fast-hsdl/I wonder how they are doing it...maybe it's just multi pathing and requires a SAS hba? Or maybe it's a high speed link to hook the PCIe cards together?
