OCZ Technology Ready with SandForce Driven RevoDrive PCI-Express SSD
OCZ Technology is ready with a new PCI-Express SSD that harnesses the power of SandForce SSD processors. Called the RevoDrive, the drive's design is based around placing two SF-1200 driven SSDs onto an addon card, connected to a RAID controller, which connects to the system bus over PCI-Express x4. The internal RAID 0 volume can stay abstract to the host. It is expected to be bootable.
The drive makes use of Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash chips, and can churn out transfer rates of 540 MB/s read and 490 MB/s write. It will be available in capacities of 120 GB and 240 GB, which will be priced at around 433€ and 757€, respectively. Although SandForce driven SSDs are popular for their high-performance and TRIM support on Windows 7, when working in RAID, the TRIM feature is said to not work in RAID. This means that the RevoDrive is as good as any two SSDs in RAID 0.

if that were the case i'd take two.. thank you kindly good sir :D
A card that size probably allows them to release the 120GB/240GB models now, and offer larger sizes later with the same PCB and design as prices/demand change. Also, those capacities are pretty good for most people. We're just used to large amounts of storage here at TPU.
