Windows 10: OCZ Revodrive 2 PCIE 240 GB

Read up on the old threads about the drive. Wanted to experiment with this old drive and windows 10 64 bit. I realize that OCZ technolgy went bankrupt and now Toshiba owns the company. It would be interesting if anyone else has played with these as they worked with windows 7 before. Found a few tools online and gathering as much information before experimenting. At least I saved the data files from back when the drive was loaded with an OS.

OCZ Revo Drive X2 Windows 10 Compatiblity

Since I had a heck of a time finding the solution, and apparently no one out there had a viable solution.... I decided I'll post this for the next guy. I have a RevoDrive (I think X1... or maybe it's just called a RevoDrive). It's a PCIe version, and is
a 240GB version. It's a great card, and there's no way I was planning on replacing it.

Unfortunately, the drivers listed on the ocz / toshiba website don't work (They're for RevoDrive X3 and above). Someone in some other thread mentioned "techspot" has some legacy drivers. But the links they provided also didn't work. It wasn't until i did
a full search of technet that I discovered the drivers which can be loaded during a clean install of Windows 10, or added to the boot.wim and install.wim / .esd if you want to simplify things.

This is the list of OCZ drivers on Techspot. OCZ Drivers - TechSpot

The one you want for the RevoDrive or RevoDrive X2 PCIe card, is the OCZ RevoDrive and RevoDrive X2 Driver for Windows 64-bit which is located here: OCZ RevoDrive and RevoDrive X2 Driver for Windows 64-bit

Once you grab that, it's simply of matter of booting the Win 10 installer, doing a "custom" install, and clicking the load driver to navigate to the correct driver to use.

The other answers given here were non-helpful whatsoever.

OCZ Launches the RevoDrive 350 PCIe SSD

OCZ Storage Solutions - a Toshiba Group Company and leading provider of high-performance solid state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems, today announced the RevoDrive 350 Series with workstation-grade design capabilities and maximum performance for professional content creation, multimedia, and extreme gaming applications. Achieving three times the performance of SATA-based SSD solutions, RevoDrive 350 is based on proven performance architecture and features 19 nm Toshiba NAND to complete OCZ's portfolio transition to in-house flash, offering a high-performance yet cost-efficient SSD solution for bandwidth-intensive client applications.

Using the PCI Express Gen. 2 x8 interface and up to four LSI SF-2282 processors to offer more available bandwidth than the previous generation, RevoDrive 350 features up to 1.8GB/s sequential speeds and up to 140,000 4K random write IOPS, delivering SSD RAID performance without the hassle in an easy-to-deploy, single card solution.







Enabling both performance and functionality for applications ranging from scientific computing to extreme gaming systems, this workstation-class storage product accelerates application performance and takes full advantage of today's multithreaded processors and software, supporting up to 50 GB of host writes per day for 3 years to provide leading endurance for media professionals over less robust consumer SSDs.

"The new RevoDrive 350 is built using proven technology with the added benefit of utilizing in-house premium Toshiba flash and OCZ's proprietary Virtualized Controller Architecture (VCA) 2.0 to deliver highly efficient performance aggregation while reducing the burden on host resources," said Daryl Lang, Senior Vice President of Product Management for OCZ Storage Solutions. "This next generation PCIe SSD is the ideal solution for performance-minded users looking to maximize both bandwidth and density for the complete gamut of gaming, content creation and workstation applications."

VCA 2.0 effectively makes the RevoDrive 350's multi-controller design appear and act as a single drive to the host system to enable drive-level management features such as secure erase, SMART, and TRIM. In addition to mass data storage, the RevoDrive 350 can also be used as bootable device, promoting ultra-fast system boot-ups.

Improving on the previous generation, RevoDrive 350 features a sleek integrated heatsink that provides a more stable and cooler thermal SSD environment, and includes optimized drivers redesigned from the ground up with new Linux support in addition to Windows OS. Available in 240 GB, 480 GB, and 960 GB capacities, RevoDrive 350 provides ample space, and comes backed by a 3-year warranty.
