  • When you’re in the market for an SSD you have to first get over the sticker shock from the dropping but still high prices. OCZ brings the Agility in to bridge the gap between cheap but slower standard hard drives and the much more expensive high end...

  • The OCZ Agility’s performance isn’t the slowest we’ve seen. In fact, while it bounces back and forth between the 64GB V-Plus at the start, it’s in the loaded state that it thrives. When the Agility and the 64GB V+ SSD’s respective controllers are tax...

  • Solid state drives are built with high performance in mind and OCZ's Agility certainly delivers the goods. Not only does it turn in some great numbers in our synthetic benchmarks, although not quite as good as the drive's specifications suggest, a...
