OCZ (which actually stands for Overclockers. pretty cool huh?) yesterday announced the availability of the RevoDrive Hybrid 1TB harddrive. They have combined 100GB NAND SSD flash memory with a 1TB hard drive and their proprietary Dataplex caching technology all on a PCIe card. This combination gives you the best of both worlds, speed and performance and massive storage at an relatively affordable price.



Until we see a drop in price of solid state drives and more widespread adoption this might be the way to go if you need plenty storage. It's the first time I am hearing about the OCZ brand. According to their website OCZ "has built on its expertise in high-speed memory to become a dominant player in the manufacturing and distribution of solid state drives." Hope to see more from them in the future. I wonder how something like this would work in a portable drive using USB3 for example?

OCZ is a very popular brand with SSD's. The OCZ Vertex 2 and Vertex 3 are some of the most popular SSD drives today.

The new Intel Z68 boards have this hybrid technology built in. Just get a small SSD and a large HDD and it will set up the hybrid drive basically speeding up the drive and maintaining the capacity. No need for the PCIe card.

of course if you dont have a Intel Z68 board, then you will have to get a PCIe card if you want this. Either way, this hybrid tech will not be as fast as a SSD alone so I opted for a 120GB SSD for OS and apps and a WD 450GB Velociraptor 10,000rpm SATA III drive for storage instead

[Chiney]

by no means huge, but with the fans i see some bulkiness taking place, very light weight. will see how it performs.. having second thoughts though... the cpu works great at 3.8 on stock voltage/cooler just upped multiplier and well im thinking i cud jus recover some cash and sell the h100 for exactly wat i paid : $950.00

sigh

[5forward]

anyone having problems with far cry on windows 7 concerning the colours?

I'll be get one of those h100 myself soon i hope

i have another problem...no games i have working on windows 7..............

[xaira]

YEH, ever since vista, its like certain scenes not rendering properly

[M_2NR]

get far cry 2


i hated far cry 1 though, although far cry 2 was a bit boring, the graphics was

[ProgressiveTT]

Doh have no problems with games on windows 7 and while far cry two was better than one, it becomes very monotonous after a while.

[Chiney]

^ same here.... far cry is ballz so i dont play that or kno about that, but other games work flawless!

[fouljuice]

anyone having problems with far cry on windows 7 concerning the colours?

The first time I installed this about 1 year ago, and put everything on "On/Max/Enabled" everything looked like a blue/gray fog, and you couldn't see at all. I turned off the graphics options one by one until it looked normal. But when I went outside of the room where you start in, the water was not visible, so I uninstalled it. Maybe by now an updated nvidia driver might solve it, but I never checked since then.

[bushwakka]

i hated far cry too

[xaira]

u people insane, farcry was mad, when dem lil monsters ganging up on you was stress, its not a driver problem, it just doesnt look good on anything but xp

Definitely an interesting technology but mostly beneficial if you still running Sata II connections (as I am ) & want a boost in performance otherwise you may as well go your route.
Cah wait to jump on dis train

[ProgressiveTT]

SSD drives are currently not being marketed as a storage solution as with larger magnetic hard drives. More emphasis is placed on using it as your primary hard drive on which your OS and installed applications reside to get drastic boosts in system speeds.
When prices do come down and newer technologies and software emerge (like with anything else).....WOW!!
