Digital Home Thoughts: OCZ Unleashes RevoDrive X2 PCIe SSD: 740MB/sec

"OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) and memory modules for computing devices and systems, announces the launch of The RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express SSD, a follow-up to the successful launch of the first RevoDrive, with increased performance and capacity to serve high-performance computing consumers. The RevoDrive X2 upgrades the original architecture to deliver unprecedented speed up to 740MB/s and up to 120,000 IOPS, nearly triple the throughput of other high-end SATA-based solutions with a substantial reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO) to the consumer. The product is available now through OCZ's global channel."

This beautiful piece of hardware is available in sizes from 100 GB up to 960 GB, and it offers a significant boost over the first version. I can't find any pricing, but the v1 product is currently priced at $291 after rebate for 120 GB, so if the new version is the same, or cheaper, this is pretty tempting...
