This is stunningly quickly! It barely provides you time to read the word "loading" when booting up windows. Shortly after obtain they dropped the value of the 80gb revodrive to par with the 50gb. ? Makes no sence. who desires a 50gb 1 when the 80gb 1 is exact same cost. I wish i waited a week lol. Now this is exactly where it gets ugly and as considerably as i feel that this thing deserves eggs for compatibility, its my fault for getting faith in compatibility of a high finish mobo with a high end ssd and not hunting into depth on the subject. This ssd is extremely incompatible with the Crosshair IV formula and a excellent number of asus motherboards. The problem is not really the revodrive but more so its asus's incompatibility for pci-e ssd's. I am 1 of the very fortunate individuals when it comes to pairing these two with each other. i have successfully installed windows 32 bit on this drive soon after failing with bluescreens and quite a few crashes/ freezes when trying win 64 bit and giving up. With win 32 bit installed i boot at insane speeds even though its nonetheless relatively buggy with 32bit installed as the drive will crash the desktop leaving nothing but background pic and mouse. I have identified your able to attemt to open taskmanager from here but it ends with the drive unable to find such a program and restarting the computer.Anybody looking into a single of these ought to Very first look into the compatibility of this and there existing computer 1st. and definitely purchase the 80gb not 50gb as they are similar price lol

I've had this SSD for about a month now,testing it on several systems and I have to say it's difficult to go back to common HD's(like cable high-speed vs dial up under no circumstances go back!) Was abet confused at 1st with the installation. but after the initial install it was all downhill.

will blow most ssd out of the water. just unbelievably quickly. 95% of the motherboards out there, will not boot from a pci-x drive. not a fault of ocz necessarily, but if nobody supports your item... what excellent is it? ive dug via their support forums, and however, there arent a lot of mb that will work with this as a BOOTABLE drive. the drive will work as a secondary in almost anything. as stated, do your investigation. its going to take a lot of work to come across just the correct combination for this to be bootable (motherboard manufacturers dont precisely plaster this facts out in the open). i have tried, and failed, with four various boards now, and gave up.

The best choice for a budget os drive. Runs on a PCIe bus, so your not limited by the SATA controller bandwidth. Is bootable (unlike many of the more expensive competitors). Unfortunately, it uses a fake raid solution based on the SIL chipset. This really diminishes the robustness of the resulting solution. Still, for the price, its an awesome deal, and will beat any single drive value line SSD solution.
