  • 27% of operations are 16 KB, 20% are 4 KB, 15% are 32 KB, 7% are 128 KB


Launching your games isn't going to happen any faster with a RevoDrive than it will with a regular SSD. You may notice a slight increase of speed but, it would be negligible.

Realm Loading:
  • 88% of all operations occur at a queue depth of one
  • 62% of all operations are random


Loading into a realm is not going to happen much faster, either. I stated in my previous post that it takes me 5 - 6 seconds to load into a realm on 5 game clients with a lot of addons. With a $650 RevoDrive I can load my game clients in about 3 - 5 seconds now.

Gameplay:
  • 82% of all operations are sequential
  • 70% of all operations occur at a queue depth of one
  • 38% 4 KB, 28% 128 KB, 9% 16 KB, 8% 8 KB

Fascinating! Thanks for the link/info.
