ISF-UserGuide-RV350, Revision 3

Welcome!

The OCZ RevoDrive 350 SSD provides an exceptional SSD experience. The OCZ RevoDrive 350 is 

designed with power users and multimedia designers in mind, and gives enthusiasts the cutting-edge 

storage they crave. With the RevoDrive 350, OCZ is offering unprecedented performance. The OCZ 

Virtualized Controller Architecture (VCA) provides features such as TRIM support and SMART data 

monitoring, something previously unheard of with PCIe solutions. In addition the RevoDrive 350 

SuperScale storage accelerator enables scalable SSD performance and significantly reduces the 

host CPU burden inherent in competing PCIe storage offerings. 

Your operating system may permit you to use the RevoDrive 350 as a boot device or as a storage 

device. This guide contains instructions for both uses. The instructions assume that you are an 

experienced IT user and that you have access to the full user information for your system. 

At OCZ we have one primary goal, and that is to ensure that every customer is 100% satisfied. If you 

have any questions during or after the installation process, please contact our industry-leading 

technical support team using the details inside the front cover of this guide.
