Most of the reviews for this product I've read seem written by performance enthusiasts who love the speed but talk little about the real world performance.
I'm thinking of buying a low capacity Revodrive as somewhere to store large uncompressed video files, photoshop scratch disk - generally large files I'm currently working on (i often have PSDs in the 500mb - 1gig range).
Looking to replace my current 4 drive raid 0 since I've run out of SATA ports on my MB and between investing in a decent RAID controller card and the Revo, I'd rather go for the quieter SSD.
What sort of life expectancy can I expect from the drive? Do I need to clean format it every few weeks to restore performance? I don't plan on putting any permanent files on it, no OS. Like I say, just files I'm currently working on to maximize performance.
