The top capacity looks to be the only one that will beat the expected $1.50/GB of the upcoming Intel P3500 Series, which looks to be extremely stiff competition looming over the horizon given its 18 channels and native NVMe support. For the RevoDrive 350, going for the larger model will pay much larger dividends in cost/GB.
My suggestion: If you're dead set on a new RevoDrive, you may also consider an upgrade to Windows 8.1 to avoid these sorts of these legacy complications.Ĭost/GB looks to be a bit of a steeper slope than we typically see. VM's) might also see the performance hit noted above. Most usage scenarios and benchmarks did not see this performance delta, but it is possible that some applications that perform modifications within an in-place file (i.e.
OCZ suggested that the addition of a small filter driver to assist with legacy (Win 7) TRIM support might have been the cause, but we saw no difference when retesting with TRIM disabled at the driver. To demonstrate this, here is an ATTO run under Windows 8.1: Windows 8.1 handles this differently than Windows 7, and given many of the optimizations were likely based around Windows 8.1, some of those changes might not have been optimal for performance under Windows 7. The program is included in System Utilities. The actual developer of the free program is OCZ Technology Group. You can run OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid Driver on Windows Vista/7/8/10 64-bit. Our antivirus analysis shows that this download is malware free. Upon deeper investigation, we discovered that OCZ made significant changes to the new 2.x driver in order to implement native TRIM support. OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid Driver 1.0 can be downloaded from our website for free. driver, we noted some inconsistencies – namely reduced performance, but only in some benchmarks.
While performing some tests under Windows 7 with the currently available 2.
