OCZ has launched the RevoDrive 3 Max IOPS and RevoDrive 3 X2 Max IOPS PCIe SSDs. OCZ has released the fully tweaked version of the RevoDrive SSDs to generate maximum performance for multi-threaded applications needed by workstation users and enthusiasts who crave ultimate high-end performance. The RevoDrive 3 X2 Max IOPS SSDs deliver 4KB random write performance of up to 245,000 IOPS, along with transfer rates at 1900 MB/s reads and 1725 MB/s writes. Those numbers are a substantial boost over the RevoDrive 3 X2 which quotes 230,000 IOPS, 1500 MB/s reads and 1250 MB/s writes.

While not mentioned in the news release, the huge jump in performance is probably accounted for by either a shift to synchronous NAND found in the Vertex 3 or toggle NAND like what is inside the Vertex 3 Max IOPS. The standard RevoDrive 3 utilizes asynchronous NAND which offers slightly slower read speeds but much lower write speeds, especially with incompressible data.
Pricing and Availability
The RevoDrive 3 Max IOPS edition will be available in 120GB to 480GB capacities while the RevoDrive 3 X2 Max IOPS edition will be available in 240GB to 960GB capacities. MSRPs and prospective ship date were not announced.
