OCZ RevoDrive 400 NVMe SSD Unveiled With Nearly 2.7GB/Sec Tested Throughput (hothardware.com)

MojoKid writes: Solid State Drive technology continues to make strides in performance, reliability and cost. At the CES 2016 show there were a number of storage manufacturers on hand showing off their latest grear, though not many made quite the splash that Toshiba's OCZ Technology group made with the annoucement of their new RevoDrive 400 NVMe PCI Express SSD. OCZ is tapping on Toshiba's NVMe controller technology to deliver serious bandwidth in this consumer-targeted M.2 gumstick style drive that also comes with a X4 PCI Express card adapater. The drive boasts specs conservatively at 2.4GB/sec for reads and 1.6GB/sec for writes in peak sequential transfer bandwidth. IOPs are rated at 210K and 140K for writes respectively. In the demo ATTO test they were running, the RevoDrive 400 actually peaks at 2.69GB/sec for reads and also hits every bit of that 1.6GB/sec write spec for large sequential transfers.

It's primarily M.2. (look it up), M.2 is only on very new mobos, so to actually sell the things they sell it will a PCI-E adaptor.

OCZ is gone, they're owned by Toshiba now. Both my first gen OCZ SSD's are still working to this day, they're nearly 8 years old at this point and both PSU's that I bought from them are still chugging along. It was later when the president of ocz decided to start cutting corners and pissing over everyone that it turned to shit.

OCZ = Toshiba

So I thought I recalled that OCZ went bust and i was right because this isn't the same OCZ, it's OCZ Storage Solutions not OCZ Technology Group. Basically, Toshiba bought up the remnants of the company and took the name and logo and founded OCZ Storage Solutions on January 21, 2014. So of course they are using Toshiba's this and that because they are Toshiba.
