unreal25 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) Hey,I just ordered OCZ Agility 3 for a friend of mine (60GB): Newegg.com - OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-60G 2.5" 60GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) I'll have some time with it, so if you have any requests of any bench let me know.--See here for results: http://forum.techinferno.com/storage/888-ocz-agility-3-a-2.html#post10647(Haven't figured out how to relink the images here.)

Founder StamatisX Posted July 14, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 14, 2011 AS-SSD results would be good to have, but as a warning it will write lots of data to your SSD... hope your friend is ok with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 He told me to make sure the disk is working. I'm delivering it to him in Europe. I was thinking of tossing it into my M17x and putting an image of my C drive, but I don't think it will fit on 60GB. I can install Linux (Mint) or something and report with some real-world tests.

Founder StamatisX Posted July 15, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah cloning is not a good idea, better with a clean installation (either Windows or Linux). The real-world performance tests are kinda hard to perform cause it's hard to measure time accurately, synthetics are a different story since some of them favor some SSDs and other synthetics other SSDs.... I bet you will end up doing everything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unreal25 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 My (well, my friends') SSD shipped yesterday too. I'll see if I can hook it up through the HD bay on the dock station. For some reason the regular hard drive I just put there occassionaly gives me BSOD during boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted July 19, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 19, 2011 do you know if there is a free fall sensor activated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hm no idea, I'll check it out. I forgot that thing even exists.... I used SSDs everywhere so don't care about these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) OCZ Agility 3: AS SSD Benchmark, Crystal Disk Mark (All 0 fill), with the disk in my dock station and here's a comparison to my boot disk, Mushkin Callisto 60GB, with older SandForce1200, AS SSD benchmark: Note: Agility 3 only reaches high sequential speeds on SATA 6Gb/s which I don't have on either of my computers.

gordon1986 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Can anyone comment on the reliability of this SSD?My employer bought about $100k of these last year for a SAN, at least 20% of them have already failed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightSpeedTaco Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Can anyone comment on the reliability of this SSD?I purchased one of these bad boys some time ago for my desktop, I remember it being quite the pretty penny for a 90GB back when I got it but it'd been blazing fast ever since I've got it. Just take care of it and don't cause it any unnecessary work and it'll last you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
na1nsxr Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I got one of these back in the FW2.22 era and I don't have reliability issues either. I still think these late model Sandforce drives are a great value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikz Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I bought 2 of these, one as a boot drive for my desktop and 1 for my hackintosh. No problems with either of them. Great value and exceptional performance, sorry to hear some people may have got a bad batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awchung Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 How are these SSD? I am looking to buy a SSD and would like to know your opinion on OCZ as I've read many mixed reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
