p.s.

120GB: $359.99 ($3.00/GB)
240GB: $639.99 ($2.66/GB)

Not bad but 2011 will bring prices down by half with 22nm SSD and that's when I jump on board - the $1.50 per GB mark. The higher up capacities should be even less so around $300 for a 240GB, which is all I need.]]>Jun 29th 2010 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Jun 28th 2010 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Jun 28th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Jun 28th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Maybe it's cheap for a SSD using PCIe.

It's cheap because of its performance. $400-$600 for 128GB-480GB that performs at 540MB/sec is great.

FusionIO MLC 320GB is $6730, and it's 500-700 MB/s]]>Jun 28th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Jun 28th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/If you are a Millionaire then yes, it is cheap.]]>Jun 28th 2010 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Of course, if you have that much money then you probably wouldn't mind spending a couple thousand more in the first place.]]>Jun 28th 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Jun 28th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Jun 28th 2010 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/
~$3-4 per Gigabyte is really cheap as far as PCIe SSDs go, and is competitive with SATA SSDs...]]>Jun 28th 2010 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/Jun 29th 2010 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/revodrive-pcie-ssd-reviewed-deemed-awesome-cheap-and-awesome/I just had to buy a PCi RAID controller to give me an extra SATA port so I could retrofit an SSD as a boot drive to my computer.

Worth noting, however, that I bought the highest-rated "world's best boot drive" (also OCZ) from NewEgg and a PCI RAID card for a grand total of about $150, soooooo....
