OCZ Tech Agility Series 120GB Solid State Drive
November 13, 2009 | Hardware, Portable Storage | Comments OffWe examined a large number of 120 GB Solid State Drive (SSD) from OCZ Technology in recent months (in case anyone confused, this is actually the disk of 128 GB to 120GB OCZ lists admirably to avoid misleading consumers about the real “usable” capacity). Back in March there was the Apex series, followed by the peak in June We are now trying to set Agility 120 GB, available for around £ 288.
Contrary to the summit, which was a record performance, agility is classified by OCZ as the main SSD. Even if you get the same guarantee of three years, the yield figures are lower, with 230 MB / s read, 135MB / s write and 80MB / s sustained write speed compared to the Vertex 250 , 180 and 100 Mb / s. These figures are still much to achieve excellent performance, though, so let see how the SSD is worth pursuing.
What you get in the package of Slim is minimal – in fact it is simply to drive and two pages. To be honest we prefer to see some screws and a support of 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch adapter included, as with the DSS TorqX Patriot, which makes installation in most cases, the tower less hassle. Even better is Kingston’s tactic of offering three different configurations of its readers with that comes the ordinary reader, the second containing the mount bracket, desktop, and others, including a caddy 2.5 “USB and drive cloning software that is ideal for laptop upgrades.
The 2.5in, 99.88 x 69.63 x 9.3mm drive is, as always, protected by a metal top and matt black base plate stainless steel, and is fairly lightweight at 92 grams. Connectivity consists of SATA power and data ports. The series Agility is available in three capacities: 30GB, 60GB and 120GB of our review sample, which is the largest size in the range. On early warning, however, does not receive Agility 30GB according to the review because it has significantly worse performance numbers (common with SSD low capacity because the controller is able to write modules flash less simultaneously). We expect to get into your smallest ability to quickly check what kind of performance difference, you can expect. [via trustedreviews]
