If you want to tune your PC using flash memory, all roads lead to Rome. By using many of OCZ SSD Solutions PC Praxis explained the tuning potential in detail.
Hybrid drives:
With the RevoDrive Hybrid the idea of RevoDrive has been been taken one step further: on this card slot an additional HDD has been integrated next to the flash memory. While the price of this product is very attractive the user will also hardly notice the use of the HDD through the large flash memory cache.
mSATA:
While not being widely available yet mSATA technology might become a very affordable option to upgrade systems. The Nocti gave us a first look into what this technology has in store for us.
The Classic: The SSD
The traditional SSD in this article is represented by the new speedy OCZ Octane using the Everest controller and delivering up to one terabyte storage capacity. With a pure SSD, such as the Octane from OCZ, you give your system a significant performance boost.
The practical upgrade: SSD Caching
With the Synapse Cache OCZ also enables SSD caching to users without the Z68 chipset motherboard, thanks to Dataplex software. SSD caching offers the great advantage by accelerating your PC without the need for reinstalling the operating system. We recommend the OCZ solution in particularly to users who want a faster computer, but do not want to set up their system again.
The high-end alternative: PCI-Express SSD
What is faster than a SSD? A number of SSDs combined into one. When it comes to an extremely speeds, the RevoDrives from OCZ are the right solution. If you cannot have enough performance, your decision for the RevoDrive 3 and even more for the X2 version the best. Getting to the limit of the monstrous speeds of these machines is nearly impossible. Having said so its usage is also meant for more demanding situations like workstations and servers where every bit of performance is needed.
When we put these solutions to the test we once again see their strengths:
Boot time (in seconds)
Compared to the flash memory driven solutions it becomes clear what advantages they bring compared to the traditional HDDs
Unzipping files (in seconds):
As you will most likely not unzip the same file more than once we have only taken the first test as it gave the most interesting results. By doing so, the caching solutions do fall behind as they need to perform the tasks multiple times to accelerate the process. As expected the RevoDrive 3 X2 stands out from the rests with the best score of a mere 14 seconds.
Installing Programs:
Like the unzipping benchmark we have also only taken a look at the first run of the program installation benchmark.
While the hybrid drives still accelerate the process the pure SSDs do really stand out here.
