OCZ Expands SSD Lineup with "Aggressively Priced" Agility Series

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

In what's fast become a crowded lineup, OCZ has released yet another SSD series, this latest one called the Agility. The 2.5-inch SATA II SSD is being aimed at mainstream desktop and notebook users not looking to spend a fortune on solid state storage.

"The new Agility Series of SSDs are the latest addition to the OCZ lineup of solid state drives and are designed for cost-conscious consumers seeking the performance and reliability benefits of SSDs at an aggressive price," said Ryan Edwards, Director of Product Management at OCZ.

On the surface, that sounds like another way of saying the new drives will be slow, but that isn't the case, OCZ says. Helped in part by a 64MB cache buffer, the 60GB and 120GB models will offer read, write, and sustained write speeds of up to 230MB/s, 135MB/s, and 80MB/s respectively. The 30GB model will check in a little slower at 185MB/s, 100MB/s, and 60MB/s for its read, write, and sustained write speeds.

No word yet on price or availability.

avatarSooo.. How's that agressive

Sooo.. How's that agressive pricing? Aren't their Vertex series the same price? I bought a GSkill Indilix drive for cheaper than that.

 What controller is in these?
