The bad news is that issues on the OS side remain. We'll get into the details momentarily, but the simple version is that it's OCZ's VCA 2.0 (Virtual Controller Architecture) software layer that works the magic. The good news is that the new RevoDrive 3 adds support for both. Together these features help keep SSDs fast and fit.

It didn't support TRIM command or SMART data. Performance is nothing without control, which is where OCZ's original RevoDrive PCI-e SSD fell short. But as we've learned, when it comes to SSD random access performance, the practice doesn't always match the theory. OCZ pegs the RevoDrive 3 X2 480GB at 200,000 IOPs for 4k aligned random writes, which bodes well. Then there's the question of random access rather than raw sequential bandwidth. Throughput with incompressible data will inevitably be lower. Those peak numbers involve compressible data.

However, it's worth remembering we're talking about an SSD with SandForce controllers. But with this drive, OCZ is dragging storage into the GB/s era. Not long ago, anything over 100MB/s seemed quick. The headline figures include sequential read and write figures of 1,500MB/s and 1,225MB/s.
