If you are in the market for a new SATA 6Gb/s SSD, it's really hard to look past the latest SandFoce-powered SSDs. Offering chart-topping performance, these models consistently offer some of the highest speeds measured in our benchmarks. Up until now ...
OCZ's Agility 3 is a mixed bag of performance. For typical desktop workloads and light usage, the Agility 3 looks a lot like a Vertex 3. It's only when you start mixing in data that's not easily compressed/deduped that the Agility misbehaves. As a general...
Let’s begin this conclusion by saying that ONFI 1 drives were never meant to compete head to head against the best this market has to offer. OCZ’s Agility 3 caters to people who want the capacity they’re used to from a hard drive while retaining the br...

Abstract: In June, 2012 we published a large group test of SSDs with capacities of 120/128 GB and 240/256 GB . Those are still the most popular sizes, judging from what people search for on Hardware.Info. The world of SSDs didn't stand still, and since then a num...
