OCZ RevoDrive PCIe vs Intel SSD Raid 0

**waynezo** · February 5th, 2011, 09:40 AM

If I want to upgrade my rig, would I be better off adding another Intel SSD (Raid 0) or using the RevoDrive? Does the PCIe give better performance than 2 sata in raid 0?

IMO just go for another X25-M. It's a more cost efficient option and will be plenty fast. I have a pair of Sandforce 64GBs in RAID0. Here are a few bench results while I was having BIOS issues. I haven't retested since, but the BIOS update probably wouldn't increase my results.

would you have a use for the sata ssd if you use a revodrive? pcie ssd is cleaner and much faster. depends whether you want some future proofing through the revodrive.
