OCZ Vertex 4 review - impressive

[Selz]

My friend has the Revodrive and I have been jealus of that since day one. Surely it is more expensive and my messege should really only go to the people who can spend that kind of money. As of raid I believe your talking about a Raid0. Surely if you combine multiple SSD and have spend a bunch of money on a good raidcontroler then it might just be faster, but that really isnt a cheap solution either, also if your going to achivede 1500/1225 MB/s you would have to combine a lot of regular SSD's since the scaling is not 100% and the more you combine the bigger the loss. I remember the Samsung SSD Awesomeness video with 24 SSD's and a proper raidcontroler now thise were old generation SSD's and didnt have close to 500/500MB/s as of the current once. They only scaled to 2gb/s which to me seems like a really bad scaling. So the amount of speed/IOPS you get from the revodrive is redicules and very well spend money. I do agree it is expensive. But I can guarentee it's woth it. Unless the amount of space is what you want.

Ofcause I can't make the claim that it "wont" brake down or have issues. Noone really can.
But around the interwebz I have seen endless posts of people hating their SSD's because of issues
it could ofcause be argueed that the RevoDrive have not sold as many products yet, so therefor the amount of issues that have been reported is far less.

What really happend: I was looking at the newegg and saw the Revodrive at 655$. Now for me that price is a total ripoff
in Denmark this version cost 30-40% more. So at first it didnt even sound too expensive to me, but ofcause Denmark just is an expensive contry for those kind of products, So I guess it was just the price difference that fucked me up, id even buy a used one for that money
