After having my OCZ Vertex 2 fail on me after 9months and a small amount of web reviews i then noticed how many of they have gone bad so i have been sent an OCZ Agility 3 120GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive as a replacement however I am at two minds on settling for the OCZ Agility 3 120GB or go for the OCZ Vertex 4 128GB. So i wanted to get some opinions and advice on the good and bad points of both SSDs.
OCZ Agility 3 120GB:
As the third generation of the Agility Series, OCZ Agility 3 Solid State Drives are designed and built to unleash the full potential of the 6Gbps SATA3 interface. The OCZ Agility 3 pushes the limits in both sequential and random data transfer rates, significantly improving your gaming, multimedia, and overall computing experience over traditional mechanical hard drives. In addition to maximized productivity, a Agility 3 upgrade makes a hard drive equipped notebook more portable than ever with superior durability and reduced power consumption. Using the latest break through controller and flash technology, Agility 3 SSDs workin perfect harmony with next generation platforms and operating systems to deliver the industry’s best storage solution.
