Benchmark: PCMark Vantage

PCMark Vantage doesn't show as pronounced a gap, but there's no denying the fact; OCZ's RevoDrive X2 is the fastest storage solution we've ever tested.

Putting a few other real-world numbers into the mix, we were able to carry out a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate onto the 240GB drive in just 11 minutes. Cold booting into the operating system then takes only 24 seconds. Shutting down is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it process.

It's lightning quick, and the responsiveness during everyday tasks is excellent. And, like most other SSDs, the RevoDrive X2 is practically silent in use, creates little excess heat, and comes backed by a three-year warranty.
