OCZ OCZSSD2-1AGT60G 60GB SATA 2 AGILITY SERIES SOLID STATE DRIVE RETAIL

Comment:
Like most other SSD the agility blasted away HDDs. No matter if compared to the latest velociraptors, or if compared with RAID, SSD will win. Even when transfer speeds are comparable (as in the situation of RAID setups) the SSD will actually feel significantly quicker due to the fact the nearly instant access time. OCZ won't honor the rebates. I bought four of these drives, my brother two. I've bought two sets of ram, 1 PSU and 1 USB drive in the previous year. In total in between me and my brother we have six rebates... none of which we've noticed. OCZ truly makes use of the exact exact same drives as other brands (you'd have to google it mainly because I cannot bear in mind) if provided the possibility purchase a unique brand to keep away from getting scammed your rebate income.. unless even without having the rebate OCZ comes up to be less costly (unlikely.) The point becoming, don't buy from them because it appears a excellent deal after MIR... the MIR is a complete SCAM! One particular of the drives died immediately after two months... stopped getting detected. I would not hold it against OCZ due to the fact soon after so a lot of that we've purchased possessing a negative one particular is not the end of the globe. RMA went smoothly although it took two entire weeks. Manufacturer Response:Hello, OCZ uses a 3rd element rebate home for all rebate processing, and we are sorry that they have dropped the ball. We will be content to make contact with the rebate property about your claims and will see that all valid rebates are paid. Please e mail rebates@ocztechnology.com and incorporate your total name, address, item, and date and place of acquire.Thank you

I bought two of these at the exact same time on a shell shocker deal, and am incredibly pleased with them. I have employed them for four-five months now with no concerns at all yet! I have read tons of testimonials that say they die right after a month, or some other thing. and all I can say is "hey no tech is excellent! stuff occurs ! get more than it!" these have a actually good waranty on them so RMA them if they die and make confident to back up(like we all ought to any way!)! they shoud have com with three.5' mount. they don't bring me breakfast inbed(for the income they really should have some sort of perks!!;) go to the ocz forums and appear at the set up pages for these they make all the diff. in the planet!! genuinely! they are a good aid in generating the most of them. don't defrag tham just let GC do it job

Made my Computer quicker and quieter.Just the right size to hold a Windows install and various apps. Windows Vista does not assistance TRIM. This is not OCZ's fault. This drive does implement garbage collection which aids work around the missing trim concern.Also, it would be great if either OCZ or Microsoft provided an automated way to move regularly-written program files to my challenging drive while maintaining read-only files on the SSD. Or possibly I'm just too obsessive. Never mis-underestimate the worth of very good customer help. OCZ has a fantastic net internet site that offers a lot of useful information. Not best, but far far better than the competition.

- Extremely rapid- Silent- Runs cool - Pricey- Low disk space Loads windows quite quick! Installed software loads immediately. You have to be quite selective about what computer software you set up onto the drive due to the smaller size.

Windows loads in below 30 seconds.Makes Every little thing additional snappy. if you want to have fast as a con then you're crazy :D don't get a 30gb SSD. DO NOT DEFRAG AN SSDŌ of these would scream!

Active tech assistance on OCZ forum. Cheap price. I purchased two of these to use for raid . The drive is not DOA, but won't let me set up windows 7, files copied to this drive gets corrupted. Following browsed OCZ forum, it appears so quite a few are obtaining corruption or degrading problems. Tech on OCZ forum instruct me to do different flashing utility to fix my dilemma (a series of complicated procedures). Why must I try to fix a brand new bought SSD? Definitely I can't return it for credit and obtain Intel x25 due to the Newegg's non-return policy. Even if I was in a position to repair my difficulty appropriate now. There is fantastic possibility anything will happend down the road 6Ӵ months possibly? Just look at how numerous ppl are posting on their forum! I would realize if there is compatiblity or setting concern with overclocking video card, ram, or motherboard. But one thing like SSD really should be a plug and play. I have owned two UMPC for over a year, a single with Samsung's 1.8" 256MB SATA SSD and the other with Chinese brand 1.8" PATA Kingspec. Both worked quite effectively just like new. That is under everyday P2P Television with a lots read and write. OCZ advise not to create often on their SSD and should not use more than 80% of its capacity. This is totaly absurd. Just think about if Intel tell you not to run your i7-950 processor at its stock 3.06ghz but at 2.45ghz instead. If I paid for 100gb, I want to use complete 100gb. Working with total capacity need to not be in conflict with the lifespan of the item. If it does, OCZ should mark and sell their 100gb ssd as 80gb. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry that you are obtaining problems with your drive. A replacement drive will have you running effectively, and we advise contacting Newegg for fastest service. We can also challenge a direct RMA. If you pick to RMA by means of OCZ, please take a look at the link beneath and develop a support ticket to get in touch with our employees.

Rapid hybernate and restart in XP, all applications run a tiny peppier.Reduces startup of XP from about 45 to 35 seconds, Massive problem to get partition alignment appropriate for XP. Acronis nevertheless doesn't have a utility to do it. So I had to reinstall XP and all apps, what a pain. Efficiency acquire not worth it. No rebate after 2 months. With ATTO benchmark, Im finding about 140 writes and 65 reads MB/sec, half of what I applied to get two months ago on a fresh a single. I would get an Intel SSD exactly where you dont have to worry about partition alignment (if you have XP), as far as I know. One more selection to seriously get the speed is to put two 30Gig SSDs in Raid , that would double your speed. With my apps, and mail and XP process on the SSD, I fill up 43 Gig. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry that you have had troubles. We will be happy to assist you on our help forums at the link beneath. Rebates are taking about 12 weeks at this time, and we aplogize for the delay.Thank youExternal Link(s): OCZ Help Forums|

Faster than spindle drive and quiet. Only lasted 12 months, then died without having warning. Also SSDLife estimated my drive was about half applied up already--even if it didn't just all of a sudden became undetectable by BIOS a couple of days ago. I only have the OS (Win7 Property Premium 64-bit) and some simple apps on it, and had indexing and defrag turned off, so don't know why it's reporting this a lot put on. I came in here although carrying out a RMA on this drive and saw all these evaluations of it dying within the initially year. Wonder if this is just this drive or SSDs in general...Also it was only about 25% quicker than my Seagate 7200 RPM 640 GB drive due to the fact my Dell Inspiron 545MT desktop machine only supports IDE mode, but can't genuinely blame the drive for that. I now have the Seagate back in even though waiting for the RMA to go by and to be sincere don't miss the smaller speed benefit of the SSD that significantly.

Quickly! I have it installed in an HTC Computer construct, applied an i3 wǚGB, P55 Gigabyte MB, WIN7 Ultimate. I've built a lot of systems, utilized numerous HD's, this thing beats them all. I actually like the quiet, low power and overall performance. Boots WIN7 in seconds vs minutes. Now if I could only run the HTC without having fans..... Concerned about the long term life cycle. I'm seriously unsure about the firmware programs and what I'm reading in blogs about blocked data locations from R/W operations. Time will tell if this ends up getting an expensive toaster. The OCZ web internet site does not have really very good info on the original Agility series now that the Agility two is out. (support internet page is a disappointment compared to other internet web sites, a lot of FAQ's to read, ) I had trouble locating info on the original OCZ Agility I have and had to commit some time looking and reading their web website and researching other products to come across information I required. Nevertheless not clear if I want the encouraged firmware update.Price tag. Still a bit spendy. Ought to be sub 贄 for 60GB. I purchased this on sale and I guess I really should have researched it additional. It is hard to get a fantastic comparison of the different models OCZ presents from their web site. Note that the original Agility (which I purchased and is still on sale) is not listed in their documentation of comparisionsLike others I feel mounting brackets would have been nice with the unit. For those who need to have it, FYI Rosewill has 2.five to 3.5 for Ŭ.99

Incredibly rapid with mac OS 10.six.five. Tested it out for a couple of weeks and receiving great bench speeds and efficiency working with Video editing and photo editing. OS boots up quick. Maintain this just as an OS program operating drive. When I am accomplished with operating I shop my crucial function on a RAID5. None yet! I hope this thing doesnt die like I have noticed some other people post.

Quickly. Moved from a 250 Seagate to this drive and my ideal boot time went from 51 seconds to 23 seconds. none so far

Comment:
Good read speeds! Utilizing it as a boot disk, it boots up Win7 login screen in < 10 sec when the bios screen completes. Not the best in it's class but it's significantly far more cheap than numerous other SSD's with the very same capacity. I haven't tried out any of the more rapidly 鵓R롹W) SSD's but this a single is Substantially Much quicker than a common 5400񴠐rpm HDD. The overall performance jump is very noticable, and applications load a lot quicker.Also, with out the need to have for a motorized arm used to read data from a disk, this hard drive presents Much lower power usage for better overall performance, which is constantly a plus. It also stays cooler than my other HDD's. ____________________________________________THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A two.five" to 3.five" DRIVE BAY ADAPTER!!!If you plan on setting up this in a desktop, I would recommend purchasing an aftermarket adapter, or better but, look into the "Agility two" series OCZ delivers. They include things like a desktop drive bay adapter, have greater R/W speeds, and it is a newer product with far better evaluations on Newegg. If you want a solid step up from HDD's for a laptop, but you don't want to invest extra for the ideal of the very best in create and read speeds, this is undoubtedly the way to go.

I'm liking the new drive load occasions ! a dramatic raise in speed! rates 7.1 on win7x64.! I purchased 2 of these(shocker value) to run in raid, but didn't I split the load 1 plan at a time seemed to function good set up is easy but the tweeks are insaine! I will be pleased if they last the three years. we will see. as they have only been in about three+ hrs now so to soon to inform. only true con is that they don't come with anything, no cd, no 3.five" adaptors(really!! for the cash we pay for these the adaptors ought to be thrown in at least!!!!) and newegg! shame on you for shipping them in a flimsy bubble bag! even a smaller box is better! drives are one particular of these factors ups would drop! I dont oc or will need the fastest computer! so thats why I went for these, proper in the middle efficiency sensible.my rig:asus m4a88td V-EVO/USB3AMD PHEMON II 945 three.0GHZ2X XFX5750 IN XFIRE8GB ADATA 10666񳄥OCZ MOD Extreme 600WT PSUtwo OCZ OCZSSD2-1AGT60GASUS CD/DVD BURNER1 WD BLUE 250 Gb HDD1 WD GREEN 500Gb HDD1 WD BLUE IDE 250 HDD

a considerable step up from a regular 7200 rpm drive capacity is rather lacking on the other hand thats what i get for being an early adopter and i was unable to find a windows 7 64bit block eraser prog on there internet siteso i will end up losing write overall performance because this drive don't assistance trim i suppose its possible to uncover a generic tool to restore previously utilized blocksonly removed an egg simply because they had the tool for all other version of windows in addition to win 7 64

Good !! As per earlier review I made an error it's been 60 DAYS no rebate yet, it says It's been authorized, Whats up OCZ ?????????????? Was perfect when I purchased memory last year?????????????????? Knocked off an egg for the rebate procedure Great SSD four THE Funds,OCZ Entirely ROCKS WITH THIS DRIVE !! WISH IT WAS A 1 TB..

Comment:
Rapid – specifically compared to a single mechanical drive. Windows 7 x64 Ultimate loads and closes so much more rapidly than when I used platter drives. Application programs start off practically instantly. Somewhat affordable soon after rebate -- especially for an SSD. Died just immediately after one particular year of use. I started randomly receiving BSOD every single couple of days till a single day my computer stopped being responsive. This lasted for a minute till I got a BSOD. Upon reboot BIOS could no longer recognize the drive. I use this drive in my primary desktop machine. Efficiency is drastically greater than a single mechanical drive and noticeably better than a couple of old 160GB Seagate’s I was making use of in RAID . OCZ was fantastic about issuing an RMA when it failed, but the entire course of action from the time the drive died till I got a new a single took a tiny over 3 weeks. I dinged this drive 3 stars for failing immediately after only a single year of use, but added 1 back since OCZ did send me a brand new 1 with no any hassles other than the RMA method itself.

Got this even though they were on sale for 120 each. Definitely worthy of that price. The specs are largely precise according to tests I did. Of course, remember speed will drop on transfers of huge quantities of files opposed to transfers of significant files No mounting brackets. There wasnt a lot to the box... fortunately there had been other items in my box so UPS couldnt ruin it so easily.Size sucks, but thats expected. Adequate room for Mass impact, windows 7, and WoW though. Dont bother putting this on an XP machine. The overall performance gains wont be noticeable.Also, take into account the speed of the machine you are employing it on is a enormous factor. If your RAM or CPU cant hold up with disk queue, then it is no longer the bottleneck, and you wont get the full effect of the SSD. I noticed Core2duo two.13ghz with 667FSB was quickly overloaded when loading something complicated. Youll want at least a C2Quad 800mhzFSB

Comment:
No noise, Quickly! Not positive about the longevity of the drive. First one died in less then a year and was replaced by OCZ with a Vertex. The rates are coming down on these drives now which is good to see. When i bought my initial 1 i believe i paid around 赼

Comment:
Great speed. Died following 11 months. It is excellent likelihood to meet OCZ's buyer support.

Comment:
Boot and reboot occasions quite rapid.Installs/Uninstalls applications rapidly.Runs apps quickly.All in all, a quite fast drive. Died a slow death in beneath a year. I purchased this drive in April 2010 for use in a Macbook.Immediately after a month or two it was acting up so I believed the Mac just didn't like it. I moved it to my Dell Studio and it seemed fantastic for yet another couple of months (and a firmware update).Then.... bam! Bluescreen city in Windows 7 64-bit Specialist. Numerous reinstalls and wipes later and it just got worse to the point that I had to send it back for RMA.The RMA approach was painless. Thank you OCZ! I'm hoping this isn't a continuous problem and is rather exclusive.Time will tell... Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are really sorry for the problem. Please go to the link below and create a assistance ticket to make contact with our staff and arrange for a replacement drive. We will be pleased to help you.

Really High performance Died right after a few hours Installed Win 7 x64 and was running fine for a few hours. Then method crashed and SSD could not be identified in BIOS. I'm certain the OCZ folks will take care of this, but this was a lot of perform only to have the SSD die.Reading from the collective reviews I come across a lot of other men and women with similar complaints. I'd say they have some QA/QC issues. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we aplogize for the problem. Please RMA through Newegg for fastest service. Your replacement drive will perform out fine for you.Thank you

Exceptional read/write instances. WEI score jumped from 5.9 ƒ.5 " 320 GB 7200rpm laptop drive) to 7.three. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and it installed it in about 15-20 minutes! Apps load instantly and with no hesitation. No noise. Far better battery. The list goes on.... I bought the unit when it was on sale for 贗 (with ฤ mail in rebate) and from what I hear, it takes like four months to get that money back. :( Truly for the funds, this is one particular of the very best drives you can get. Acquire it!

Comment:
I picked this up @ Newegg for 贗 on a shell shocker. Operating Win7 on this as a boot drive and all apps etc on a pair of Western Digital Black in RAID 1. The boot up time for windows (past the bios stuff) is only a couple of seconds :)Bang for the buck this is rad. OCZ forums has lots of OS tweaks listed. IMO not really needed on Win7 as every little thing just works out of the box. None

Comment:
Rapidly while it lasted Died soon after 6 months of extremely light use. BIOS won't even see the device. Now I will have to come across out how great OCZ's RMA method is. Backup your information often due to the fact SSD is a relatively immature technology.
