High performance at mainstream price

OCZ Technology, one of the leader in flash based memory products, has just unleashed another solid state drive in it's already solid lineup.

Named the Agility, the new line should be about 30% slower than their current Vertex, arguably the leader in performance SSD's.

The drive will be available with 30, 60 and 120GB, but, unlike it's big brother, OCZ has not planned a 250GB version. It's fair to guess that it would most likely be far out of mainstream price range.

Both drives sport similar features including the Indilinx controller paired with 64 MB of cache. OCZ claims relatively modest 185 MB/s and 100 MB/s read and write speeds for the 30GB version of the Agility. The larger versions score quite a bit higher, reading and writing up to 230 MB/s and 135 MB/s respectively.

Even though no pricing has been disclosed yet, those new drives will certainly carry an appealing price tag. With the 30GB Vertex selling for a mere 130$ after rebate, it's very possible this one will hit the 100$ mark.

    Update: the performance hit would be due to the fact that the Vertex uses Samsung flash while the Agility uses some other brand which is slower.
