OCZ Technology Group, Inc. announces that RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express Solid State Drives (SSDs) have been qualified by boutique system integrator, Falcon Northwest, and will be implemented in Falcon’s high-performance PC’s for the gaming market. As the fast storage option, using a RevoDrive X2 SSD in place of a traditional hard drive enhances performance and system responsiveness, and will be offered in the renowned Mach V and Talon Series of desktops.

"Falcon Northwest is a leader in the enthusiast PC space and offers customers truly unique custom solutions that both look and perform like no other," said Alex Mei, CMO of OCZ Technology Group. "We share Falcon’s passion for enthusiast grade performance and quality and are thrilled that customers can now select our premium RevoDrive X2 PCI-E solid state drives integrated within Falcon’s high-end gaming desktops."

"We’ve been looking for a bootable, solid-state PCI Express storage solution for years" said Kelt Reeves, President of Falcon Northwest. "Before OCZ introduced the RevoDrive, other brands we’d tested ran too hot, were too small, too slow, weren’t bootable and were always too expensive. With the new RevoDrive X2 series, OCZ has set a new bar for cost per gigabyte, performance and size in PCI Express storage. They offer cold, silent, wickedly fast performance in sizes for every budget."

Falcon Northwest is one of the oldest and most respected enthusiast PC system builders, and its lineup of custom designed gaming and productivity machines utilize the highest quality components available, unleashing the performance potential of the latest platforms. Striving to always deliver the ultimate PC experience, Falcon Northwest qualified the RevoDrive X2 for its 700MB/s transfer speeds and ability to keep pace with intensive multimedia environments. By pairing the X2 with the builds offered by Falcon Northwest, users can take full advantage of the fast, bootable SSD technology that offers near instantaneous data access, maximum bandwidth, and less lag time.

The PC gaming market continues to stay strong with the continuous flow of new entertainment titles, and is fueled by a large customer base demanding the highest level of performance and reliability, which is difficult to find in the traditional pre-fabricated systems. Falcon Northwest’s boutique enthusiast segment is the arena for OCZ PCI-Express SSD offerings, as the company remains committed to growth in this market.
