OCZ Technology continues to aggressively release new solid state drives offering many different series of drives for any budget. Today we l take a look to a "budget" product part of the company's "Agility" series. OCZ claims the the new drive can easily compete with more expensive SSD solutions and we hope our benchmarks will confirm this.

The OCZ Agility Series includes new architecture and controller design, fast read/write speeds, and 64MB of onboard cache.

Typically designed for r notebooks and desktops alike, the Agility Series is energy-efficient aimed at mobile computing devices with extended battery life, increase the speed of access time, and provide a durable alternative to conventional hard disc drives with superior shock resistance.

The OCZ Agility drives feature a lightweight alloy housing, and because OCZ SSD's have no moving parts, the drives are more rugged than traditional hard drives. The SSD's have an 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) and come backed a two year warranty and OCZ’s service and support.
