The Agility series will be available in 30GB, 60GB and 120GB capacities and comes equipped with a 64MB onboard cache. Both the 60GB and 120GB models have a maximum read speed of 230MB/s and a maximum write speed of only 135MB/s, with sustained write speeds a bit slower at 80MB/s, while the 30GB model should offer more modest 185MB/s and 100MB/s read and write speeds. They all have an expected MTBF of 1.5 million hours and are backed by a two-year warranty.
The company has yet to disclose any pricing or availability details, but it did claim to have lowered the cost of these drives by using cheaper NAND flash memory, paired with an Indilinx controller for stutter-free operation. With the 30GB Vertex selling for around $135, it’s possible the lower-end Agility model will hit the $100 mark.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I think this is a nice option for secondary drives. I chose the faster SSD I did, knowing the demands of an operating system, like Windows Vista (and typical Windows o/s'). Slower sata/ide hds are very appropriate for storage and these (though I wouldn't get another one that's only 30-120GB) faster (though not optimal) will be fantastic for applications and gaming. I'll definitely think about investing in a slower SSD for my gaming needs, when they reach the size of 500gb+. I'll use the 2-4TB satas available for storage - much more affordable and it makes sense.

Yum...i love how everything gets into mainstream prices eventually.

Funny..Newegg was selling the vertex for $99 one weekend not long ago.

That was a "double-deal special" or whatever they call 'em.
