I'd recommend downloading the most recent driver straight from OCZ instead of blowing the dust off of that old cup-holder. OCZ is at fault for not following industry standards with its Revo SSD! The new RevoDrive 350 comes well packaged, with a driver mini-CD. The real reason is the OCZ SSD has something unique about it and it is not compatible with the Windows 7 installation DVD without supplemental software from OCZ to compensate for it's unusual configuration. Overall it may be the Windows installation media that does not like " WHQL approved and signed " Thanks forum for all the help and pointers. I hope this helps the next guy who has the same problem.
The process was longer than expected and locked at one point but rebootįixed it and now I have a working PC with 64 bit OS and 24GB of memory smoking fast.Īfterwards I set BIOS to boot from OCZ drive and plugged in my other SATA drivers - one with OS 32 bit. After partition was created I loaded 64-bit drivers (both drivers were from OCZ website)Ĥ. When it came to loading drivers I had to load 32-bit drivers first, then I had to format and partition OCZĭrive (loading 64-bit would not create system partition).ģ. Boot with the Windows 7 Enterprise MSDN DVD installation (I could use other version but it's a work PC)Ģ. I would be interested to see a benchmark though. I did consider mdadm but had already set up dmraid and was getting the full speed so never changed. The first two lines are open Silicon Image RAID controllers with multiple disks. At the bios and at Windows the card shows itself like a scsi controller connected to a 240GB disk and at.
This card is composed of a marvell 88se9485 sas conrtoller connected to 4 sandforce controllers, each sandforce controller is connected to a bank of flash memories. If the driver is already installed on your system, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix various issues, add new functions, or just upgrade to the available version. Last weekend I was trying to repair a old Ocz revodrive 3 x2 240GB Pcie. So I have finally called the OCZ Technical Support.ġ. psusi The Revodrive 3 requires a proprietary RAID driver (no Ubuntu support AFAIK). This package provides installation files for OCZ RevoDrive and RevoDrive X2 SSD Driver for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 圆4.
