The OCZ Agility 4 is a good overall drive, and can be a great value for those just making the jump to SSD-based systems. For this, it earns the Bjorn3D Silver Bear...

As an everyday drive the Agility 4 feels much faster than a traditional drive and gives back those things that stick out most; faster boot times and improved access to data at a great price for the capacity.

OCZ has positioned their Agility 4 as a mid-range solid-state drive which is built around the company's Indilinx controller. In our testing we see decent performance, that, when averaged over all our tests, can claim a solid place in our rankings.

Quite frankly, I NEVER thought I would see any SSD reaching over 400MB/s sequential write performance and also having over 100MB/s random 4k write performance going for anything near this price.

OCZ is bringing us a different kind of performance with the Agility 4. The Agility 4 does improve on the weaknesses of the Agility 3 by delivering a very cost effective drive that performs fantastic when it comes to incompressible writes.

While not the fastest SSD to come through the 'Labs, OCZ's Agility 4 delivers a lot of bang for your buck. Powered by the same Indilinx infused Everest 2 controller as the Vertex 4, the drive uses asynchronous MLC NAND to deliver a fast, responsive...
