OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Comment:
First SSD I put in a system, works wonders, will buy again

Comment:
I have not had any issues with the drive. This is my first SSD. I installed it in my new rig. Everything runs great and I have suggested it to many friends.The disk still has a lot of space left on it after a Windows 7 install, a few applications, League of Legends and Diablo 3. Other less frequently used games end up on the HDD because I try to keep the free disk space closest to 40%.I had initially tried to firmware update  (an easy task) but I got impatient and just ran with whatever the disk had out of the box. No BSOD here.

Got it for $60 after rebate, no complain for that price. Use it as a boot drive for Win7 and the BIOS took longer to initialize than Win7. I flashed to latest firmware before install Win7. No problem so far.

Bought it to replace a Ocz Petrol that had a problem(lost my data and had to install a new firmware). The other disk is working but i moved it to a less important computer.The performance are better than the petrol and it seems newer controller. For the price, this is a really good 120g.A must for modern computer.

very good ssd, no 3.5" bracket though,comparing to HDD, much faster

Installed this drive into my 2010 MacBook Pro. I was only get about 160 MB/s write and 180MB/s read, thought it was the issue with firmware 2.15 reverting to SATA1 speeds but even with firmware 2.22, I still get the same speed. Regardless, I'm very happy with this drive. Boot time from powering on to having AutoCAD ready to go decreased from 67 seconds to 28 seconds. Wake from sleep time decreased from an already impressive less than 2 seconds to about half a second. Everything loads so much quicker, it may not be the fastest SSD but you still get the benefits of instant access times. The real benefit from the Agility drives over the faster Vertex drives is the super low power consumption. Quite a few MacBook Pro owners complained about losing 30-60 minutes of battery life going with the high power Vertex, but I've gained at least 30 minutes of battery life with my Agility 3 or about 10%. I only wish I've gone with a 240GB, but I will likely go with an Agility 3 again when the time comes. I like how the real formatted capacity is 119GB.

Adds life to the hp dual core notebook that was destined for recycling. Now decent to use again for email and web browsing

Comment:
Great deal for a decent SSD. Not much real world difference for faster SSD. No trace of BSOD in new firmware.

J'ai acheter ce petit disque histoire d'y mettre Windows et quelques applications, tout va très vite depuis. Pour un ordinateur avec un budget limité je le recommande, sinon le vertex 3 ou le chronos deluxe sont de tres bonne options. Il n'a pas planté pour l'heure, d'ici quelques jours/mois je serais en mesure de voir si ce disque tiens la route!

So far, I've bought 3 of these and they've been great. I use one in an external enclosure to copy files and one in a backup PC. They've been fast, had no hiccups, and worked reliably. I hope it lasts!I've built several computers with OCZ SSD's that work fine in the past. 2 machines with Vertex 2's (120GB and 80GB) are still running strong.However, I've also had 3 OCZ Vertex 1's and 2 Vertex 2's die on me. I hope these drives don't end up like their predecessors!

Comment:
God I knew i shouldn't have bought this drive. Had an OCZ SSD a few years ago, nothing but problems. Freezing, BSOD...., but I thought 'they can't be that bad still'.Boy do I regret giving OCZ my money.I should have learned from the last time.Shame on me.Also tried a Corsair and Kingston, they worked great!

Does what it is meant to do. Using it to install my operating system.

Comment:
This drive has worked well for me so far and I am very happy with the price! OCZ also does MIRs very well so it is not an obstacle.

Comment:
$/GB is astounding considering I paid ~$60 after rebate and $70 before. Easily replaces my HTPC's main drive for everyday usage.

Comment:
I actually have yet to receive mine, But it is shipped out today might be showing up tomorrow. But I'm not to sure what I should do with them, I have en existing 500gb with over 240gb used up. I'm going to ask around see what I should do here.

Comment:
From what I've ready online OCZ has quality issues. However This will be my 4th SSD from OCZ and so far I've had no problems with their SSD, hope this one will be the same.

Comment:
Pour le prix, cette ssd est parfaite! c'est ma première ssd mais pas ma dernière.

Comment:
Ce disque dur ssd est vraiment rapides comparativement a un hdd puor un prix vraiment bas ca vaut la pene et c'est facille a instaler avec linus tip *65 sur you tube

Comment:
works well so far. Came with firmware 2.22 which is the latest to-date. I just hope it lasts for a few years like my old magnetic disks.

I am not here to disparage OCZ products because I simply love them. I bought a Vertex 2 (Sandforce firmware) almost two years ago and a Vertex Plus (Indilix firmware) about 8 months ago and I simply love them. The Vertex 2 was for my desktop while the Vertex Plus was for my laptop (Dell Latitude D830).Let me put it this way: my laptop was given a second life! A cold boot takes roughly 15 seconds with Windows XP, and coming back sleep is almost instantaneous; no need for a tablet!So I got carried away and bought the Agility 3. This is a SATA3 drive while my ancient computer (HP Pavilion with a Core2Duo E6300) only has SATA2. Having read on the forum that it was backward compatible and all, I decided to take a chance despite some saying a Vertex 2 would probably perform better in a SATA2 environment than an Agility 3 (but an Agility 3 would perform better in a SATA3 environment than a Vertex 2). So I decided to take a chance nonetheless, my thought process being that even if the SSD was not performing at its peek, it would still perform better than an HDD. At least, this way I could "grow" with the Agility when I buy a new rig. In hindsight, I think this might have been a mistake because my HP is not performing any better than with my HDD. I have made sure that the partition was properly aligned and all that good stuff, but I am unable to make it give me the performance boost that I experienced with my laptop. That was a huge disappointment. To make things worse, I forgot to send my mail in rebate, so the SSD ended up being quite costly :-(So in summary, I am not discouraging people from buying this SSD but beware if you want to put it on a SATA2 port.If someone has had more positive experience with a SATA2 or if an OCZ person reads this and wants to help (I've had great experience with OCZ support in the past), feel free to let me know.

I used to have Vertex3 in my desktop and got this Agility for my "non-gaming" laptop and I don't really notice any speed decrease. It's a pretty nice SSD available at cheap price.

Comment:
Overall this is a great 120GB SSD for the price of $89.99 after $15 MIR. Works perfectly fine in my system.

Comment:
I was skeptical about buying this OCZ SSD due to all the reviews out there but you have to keep in mind a few things.OCZ has sold the most SSDs out there, so logically, they would have the most SSD failures. I heard that %-wise, it's not to far off from everyone else. Just update  with the newest firmware (which should have fixed most of the issues) and you should be fine.

I've bought a few of these 120gb Agility 3 SSDs now, and they are pretty nice. Decent performance with a low price tag usually. I have heard that they can be buggy - causing blue screens and whatnot - but I have never experienced this myself. Overall a pretty good SSD.

What can I say? This is a great drive that's almost as good as the Vertex 3 (no noticeable difference), but is a bit cheaper. The green sticker on it also looks really slick. I bought this for $109. Really Great drive!This might make me have more than 30 words!
