In case you missed it, we spent plenty of hands-on time with OCZ's new RevoDrive X2 Solid State Drive device and posted our evaluation last month (you can check it out here). Short and to the point, we walked away "completely and thoroughly impressed," and it looks like we weren't the only ones. Falcon Northwest, makers of high end gaming rigs, has now qualified the RevoDrive X2 for use in its Mach V and Talon series of desktops, OCZ tells us. "We've been looking for a bootable, solid-state PCI Express storage solution for years" said Kelt Reeves, President of Falcon Northwest.

And that means leapfrogging their own products quite frequently. The RevoDrive X2 is the follow-up device to the original RevoDrive, and yes, both have debuted in the same year. That's just how quick technology is advancing these days. The new RevoDrive X2 hasn't changed much; it still plugs into a PCIe slot and provides between 100GB and 960GB of pure Flash storage. The changes are notable, however. It has four SandForce-1200...
