The Revodrive and the Revodrive X2 have the same controller. They both use a SiI3124, a 4 port SATA2 PCI-X RAID controller. The only difference is that on the Revodrive the RAID0 consisits of two SF-1222 controllers while on the Revodrive X2 the RAID0 consists of four SF-1222 controller.I agree the controller has a lot to do with it which is why the Revodrive X2 is much faster than the Revodrive1, and why raiding 4x V2 won't be exactly the same as 1x Revodrive X2.
Is there less overhead since its all on one card? More? No difference than when plugged in to a mobo? Better controller on revox2 vs controllers on mobo?
Im not certain, but as in other OCZ drives, there is no TRIM in raid at this time. it would have GC which works just fine in my experience with both the x2 and Vertex in R0. Again, not sure though.Drive sounds like a lot of fun. Looks very nice.
Since its 4 drives in a Raid0 is there trim issues with it or is that taken care by the OCZ's bios settings?
Mr Alpha...:

The setup of the Revodrive X2 is this: Four normal SandForce SF-1222 controllers. Two one the main PCB with the associated flash and two on the daughterboard.I think probably the Sandforce controllers are sata, there's four of them.
Then the OCZ chip(s?) are a PCIe 4x sata RAID controller that lumps it all together and shoves it out the PCIe bus.
Also note that jumping from 2 drives to 4 drives doesn't double the performance so there is some added overhead or latency.
