Throughout the article we will be comparing the Agility EX 60GB SLC SSD against a number of top MLC-based drives from Crucial, Corsair, A-Data and OCZ themselves. Notably absent are the popular Intel X25-M drives which unfortunately were not provided by the manufacturer for this round-up.

For our file copy test we took a single 6GB file and duplicated it on the drive, measuring the average transfer speed and time needed to complete. The OCZ Agility EX set a new record amongst our contenders with an average internal transfer speed of 96.7MB/s and finishing the test in just under a minute. This made it 7.5% faster than the OCZ Vertex Turbo, and 47% faster than the budget MLC version of the Agility.
