The RevoDrive Hybrid is carefully packaged in foam layers. You'll receive the product and a manual, that's all. Before installation be sure to grab the latest SCSI drivers for the host controller from the OCZ website. During a Windows installation you will need to point your OS towards the driver.

And there you have it, the OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid, the model can be easily recognized by the 2nd PCB, the upper layer is the HDD area, the lower one the SSD cache partition.

If you did not get what this product is by now, the unit is a bootable PCIe drive with RAID support and the current generation of SandForce controllers. Two SSD partitions are tied together into one product running over RAID and then the data ends up at the PCIe slot. Over that same RAID controller the device locks in the HDD. With another software layer you can now use the SSD partition to cache the HDD.
