For a while now we have been telling you that SSDs are the upgrade. And while some of you are starting to believe us by taking the plunge, a lot you are still weary because of one mayor drawback; the price per GB.
So wouldnt it be brilliant if it was possible to get the performance of an SSD, with the capacity of an HDD? Well, this is actually possible; some of manufacturers have started to create these products.
OCZ has now come out with a solution that delivers performance of up to 910 MB/s and 120,000 IOPS while holding a capacity 1 Terabyte.
The concept here is pretty simple; the RevoDrive Hybrid is basically a mutant lookalike. You take an SSD, which can deliver excellent performance, and slap a hard drive with a high capacity on top of it. Some software in between, and you can get the performance of an SSD while enjoying the capacity of a hard drive for a price that is situated between the two.
This is a concept that works quite well in practice.
The hybrid works simply because all inactive data that you rarely use is stored on a hard drive. In turn, the software called Dataplex will automatically learn which files are actually active and send them to the extra fast SSD you do not have access to. This is called caching.
When Dataplex starts to understand what you are doing, the performance shoots through the roof and then some. It's not just any SSD that sits on this hybrid, but a very, very quick one. The performance of cached data is not just a little better, but two, three, and even ten times better at times. In the absolute best cases you can actually pull out the entire potential speeds of 978 MB/s read and 806 MB/s write, which is almost the double of what even the fastest traditional current SSDs deliver.
Overall, the RevoDrive Hybrid is a brilliant product, a product that works and that meets the users who want solid performance, but also the capacity of a hard drive. This deserves our recommendation.
