Hi, Toms great community members.

I need to know exactly the main diffrences between Agility and Agility 2, size aside.

I can get either agility 60GB, or Agility 2 50GB, which one to get ???

The Agility uses the Indilinx Barefoot controller while the Agility 2 uses the Sandforce SF-1200 controller. There's a review and benchmarks over on AnandTech, and the Agility 2 scores consistently higher:

While the overall scores for the Agility 2 are pretty impressive, the cost per usable GB is fairly high ($4.071), since it loses approximately 27% to overhead when formatted. So that 50 GB Agility 2 will only give you about 36.5 GB of usable space.
