OCZ Agility SSD 30GB Solid State Drive Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2010-01-22
okay so today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of the OCC agility SSD drive so the agility is basically a series of drives that falls in between the vertex and the solid - so the agility is based on the same in the Lynx controller as the vertex and the solid - as well as the vertex turbo as well as the vertex CX in fact most of OCC's current SSD drives are based on the into Lynx barefoot controller but there is a key difference the agility drives which are more of a value option compared to the premium vertex drives do not have the same speed of flash okay so the agility is actually only capable of reads up to 185 megabytes per second here you can have a look at this and sustained writes of up to 60 megabytes per second so that's quite a bit slower than the vertex is capable of but what it actually means in terms of real-world performance is very little because most of the benefit of an SSD drive actually comes from the random reads and writes which are still very impressive on the agility versus the sustained reads and writes so inside the box we will find the jali the nice little package here and we also have a little installation guide and warranty info booklet which includes an installation guide as well as warranty info Thank You ocz now the agility actually I have the 30 gig here today but it's available on a bunch of different capacities 30 60 120 and 250 as of the time of this video the 250 is actually brand new and was just released we just got stock of that one quite recently so outside that's a pretty exciting thing because valley 250 gig drives haven't really been available widely ok so you can see from the top of the drive it looks almost identical to a vertex it's quite similar so it's got a black covering on the top it's silver on the bottom but the one big difference is that this is a different sticker ok so on the vertex it's black and white whereas on the agility is green you'll find your typical seated power as well as SATA to data interface at the back and I guess that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the OCZ agility SSD
