CrystalDiskMark 3.0 TestsCrystalDiskMark 3.0 is a file transfer and operational bandwidth benchmark tool from Crystal Dew World that offers performance transfer speed results using sequential, 512KB random, and 4KB random samples. For our test results chart below, the 4KB 32-Queue Depth read and write performance was measured using a 1000MB space. CrystalDiskMark requires that an active partition be set on the drive being tested, and all drives are formatted with NTFS on the Intel P67 chipset configured to use AHCI-mode. Benchmark Reviews uses CrystalDiskMark to illustrate operational IOPS performance with multiple threads. In addition to our other tests, this benchmark allows us to determine operational bandwidth under heavy load. After several initial cache runs, each subsequent test with the OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid PCI-E Solid State Drive were consistent with the best results obtained used in the chart below. Because this benchmark uses compressed data, sequential file transfer (write) speeds are reported lower than with other tools using uncompressed data. CrystalDiskMark 3.0 reports sequential speeds at 331.8 MB/s read and 105.8 MB/s write. 512K results reached 325.1 MB/s read and 107.9 MB/s write performance.
For this section, we will concentrate on the operational IOPS performance using compressed data. 4K tests produced 26.16 read and 73.45 write performance. Displayed in the chart below, the maximum 4KB queue depth 32 IOPS performance results for several enthusiast-level storage products illustrate which products offer the best operation under load:
In the next section, we continue our testing using Iometer to measure input/output performance...

Great job OCZ!
Now, when will we see a review of the OCZ Synapse cache SSD, which lets the user add his/her own HDD for a hybrid solution???
An immature product still, but the direction is the right one.
Yeah and like the other guys said--500.00 USD? That must be for the "1%." hahahaha
I paid almost $3,000 for my first hard drive, and it held 10 megabytes...one one-hundredth of a gigabyte. You kids lack perspective.

But that is a good point. I remember I bought my first SCSI drive in I think 1998. I think I paid 350 or 400 for 6GBs? But David, true that drives were 500 in 2000, but that was what you got, buy it or not. That's not the case now. I can buy two fast SATA drives, RAID them, and have nearly the same non seek non IOPs performance of a 500USD drive at 180 bucks. I think I paid 85.00 each for the 640s a few years ago with rebates.
I did a Crystal Disk Mark test on HOCP a few years a go and was tuning my array.
Two disk testing applications: HD Tune 2.55 and CrystalDiskMark 2.2.
CrystalDiskMark: Set to 50MB all other options left default. Run "All."
HD Tune: Go to Bench Mark tab and in the upper right look for the options icon. Slide the slider to "Accurate"--slide the slider all the way down. Report ONLY Avg and Burst.

Random Write 4KB : 3.929 MB/s
I dunno. I think I'd opt for the RAID at 180USD.
Pitty they don't have 2GB (yet!)
I would like to use two of them for save as RAID1 (possible ?)

Any help or suggestions is appreciated
