OCZ RevoDrive, hit or miss?

I was looking on Overclockers earlier today and found this:-

It's a new bootable pci-e SSD, with massive promised speeds in comparison to your run of the mill HDD. Only problem is that it doesn't have TRIM support.

Just wandering whether anyone thinks that this would be worthwhile saving for, or just leaving it till it becomes more popular/cheaper?

They are still having some issues with it on various motherboards so if i were you i'd just go for a standard ssd. Its hardly like they are slow or anything.

I don't know much about SSDs as I'm leaving them for a bit until the bigger sizes are cheaper. But from what I read TRIM support is something that's much better to have than not.

No TRIM, no go, imo.

I use a OCZ Vertex 1, it's pretty sweet

0 trim AVOID LIKE FURRYS XD

Iv tried SSD with no trim, its total 2MB/s once you have written to every cell once.

Yeah I might leave it for now. I haven't checked out new hardware since early 2008, so I have no idea what to do for a HDD now. If I get a job at some point, I might get the new Velociraptor, or a decent SSD.

Hey Bashy

I've just splashed out on a set of Seagate Momentus XT drives, will let you know how I get on with them. If you are still sitting on the fence come November you can have a product demo
