OCZ RevoDrive hybrid vs Intel Z68 caching of the DSS

OCZ is powerful fast.

Where Intel's Z68 completed a normal hard disk with a relatively small SSD, OCZ takes the approach reverses on the Revo hybrid - band literally a hard drive of the laptop for the Revo Drive 3 X 2. The objective is obviously to combine the advantages of two storage technologies, namely of large capacity, high transfer rates and the fast access time. Caching on the side of things is managed by a software called Dataplex, developed by NVELO. According to the information of the company, Dataplex done a better job than response Smart Intels technology.

Our team at the Computex was able to get some numbers comparing the two systems. On a Z68 system equipped with a 500 GB HDD (7 200 rpm) and a non-specified 60 GB OCZ SSD, Intel SRT achieved a score of 25195 later in hard disk if PCMark Vantage mode Max. 28071 Out Dataplex enabled, topped with coming system. If this kind of improvement is possible with the software, we hope that OCZ will also bundle Dataplex with its SSDs in the future, which allows users to implement their own SSD cache even without Z68 of Intel. While the NVELO claims that its software works with any combination of HDD and SSD and any combination of AMD or Intel Chipset/CPU running Windows 7, OCZ has currently no plans for expansion outside of its own products.

OCZ has also shown at Computex 2011 some new business models. Among them were 3 EX Vertex, a drive that shares all the characteristics of the Vertex 3 Pro but uses SLC flash. Read and write speeds are identical to 550 MB/s and 525 MB/s respectively, but it can support an IOPS than than the Pro 4 K block size, reaching 80 000 where the MLC drive is estimated at 70,000 IOPS. In addition, all the specifications and capabilities are identical to the Pro model.

No show is complete with some amazing technological force raw demonstration. OCZ was a system with six Z - Drive R4 88 to 1 million IOPS. Who did not want that?
