Is the Agility 3 SSD all that agile?
Latest SandForce controller ; 6Gbps SATA support
Asynchronous NAND spoils performance ; Not cheap enough compared to Vertex 3
Expert review by : Ed Smith (funkykit.com)
We take a look a the OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD. This SSD delivers in both price and performance. With maximum read speed of 525Mb/sec and write speed of 500Mb/sec. It's one of the fastest SSD on the market. Put it down on your shopping list!
Very fast ; Great price for it's size and performance ; Runs cool ; Totally silent
The more stuff you fill it with, the slower it goes. This is an issue for all drives however, not just this one ; I dislike mail in rebates, I would much prefer the drive simply being priced lower to begin with
This is the second SSD I've tested, it's aimed at a much lower price point market than the first one (and is half the size), but it not only traded blows in the three major benchmarks, this OCZ Agility 3 120GB drive flat out obliterated the PCMark05 XP...

Ever since the introduction of 25nm NAND and SandForce's SF2281 SATA 6Gbps controllers, the market has seen a tidal wave of drives all competing in
Let's begin this conclusion by saying that ONFI 1 drives were never meant to compete head to head against the best this market has to offer.

OCZ have always been a well respected brand in the SSD community and tend to offer up products available to the high-end market. This came in the likes of the Vertex range of drives with the Vertex 2 and Vertex 3 giving lightning fast performance but a...
The bottom line is that we feel for the money, there are better drives on the market and the choice in trying to make the drive cheaper by using asynchronous flash has left us with a bitter taste in our mouths and can’t wait to get stuck into the...

Looking for a good quality, SATAIII 6Gbps Solid State Drive but on a budget? We size up OCZ's new Agility 3 series. Click to find out how this SATA III SSD performed.
Great performance ; SATAIII 6Gbps ; Competitively priced ; 3 years warranty
None
As SSDs become more prevalent due to price drops and the obvious advantage in performance over traditional HDD storage, it’s in the best interest of the enthusiast to get the best ‘bang for buck'. OCZ have launched the Agility 3 series with exactly...
Expert review by : Zardon (kitguru.net)
This month we have seen the release of a handful of ultra fast Solid State Drives, and Kitguru has been on hand to review them in recent weeks. Today we are looking at the latest drive from market leader OCZ, the Agility 3 240GB. The Agility 3 has been...
fantastic performance ; IOPS performance is still strong ; price point is extremely competitive, between £90-£100 less than 240GB Vertex 3 ; 60GB version in this family will have a tempting price to performance ratio
Vertex 3 is faster
KitGuru says: a Stunning drive, with huge storage capacity for under £400. Well worth a shortlist.

OCZ Agility 3
The ; solid-state drive supports SATA 6Gbps and offers fast performance. The drive works in any SATA-based storage application and is relatively affordable.
The OCZ Agility 3, though fast, is noticeably slower than other SATA 6Gbps SSDs without being proportionaly cheaper. It's capped at only 240GB, takes a long time to format, and doesn't come with a drive bay converter to fit in a place of a 3.5-inch...
With fast performance and a competitive price, the OCZ Agility 3 SSD makes a very good replacement hard drive for any computer, especially one that has built-in support for SATA 6Gbps.

OCZ has been at the forefront of each generation of SandForce SSD release since the debut of the SF-1500 based Vertex Limited Edition. More recently the Vertex 3 was the first client SSD to use SandForce's SF-2281 controller. Many of you have written...

Guarantor of Performance. OCZ Technology's Agility 3 Solid State Drive (SSD) is a fast mainstream solution with modern SandForce SF-2281 Controller and SATA III interface. Because of its low entry-level price and its high transfer rates, it offers a...
To summarize, the performance and the modern technology of the OCZ Agility 3 are convincing. Users who frequently operate with data difficult to pack should rather buy one of the Intel solutions or the more expensive Vertex 3
Expert review by : Nathan Edwards (maximumpc.com)
OCZ already ships two drives with the blazing-fast SF-2281 controller—the Vertex 3 and the firmware-tweaked Max IOPS Vertex 3. So, why a third? Like its predecessors the Agility and Agility 2, the Agility 3 is OCZ's “mainstream” SSD for this...
Nearly as fast as other SF-2281 drives; cheaper
Big slowdowns when writing incompressible data
The good news is that the Agility’s use of cheaper NAND only becomes a problem in a few situations, most of which are unlikely to impact home users. The slowdown is only apparent in tests that read and write large amounts of incompressible data to...
