What do you guys think looks pretty interesting?

hehe sorry should have looked a bit harder

its just a doubling of the original RevoDrive, so instead of slapping the equivalent of _two_ Vertex2 drives and a cheap silicone image raid controller onto a PCIe board, now you've got four. yay. and peak 740MBps sequential read for an array of four SF-1200 based drives? meh. two Crucial C300's in raid0 = 710MBps on a decent controller, which gets you within 5% of this RevoDrive X2's claimed peak sequential reads. certainly write performance on the revodrive x2 will outshine a couple crucials, but will be overshadowed by OCZ's high pricepoint.

personally i rather go with individual 2.5" drives than one expensive PCIe card with four drives lumped onto it, since they could be repurposed more easily later on.

Yeah true just saw how much it cost as well... Pretty brutal
