The OCZ Agility 4 is a good overall drive, and can be a great value for those just making the jump to SSD-based systems. For this, it earns the Bjorn3D Silver Bear...

When a product gets released it is never perfect, even though it goes through many different types of tests and procedures there are always things that can be improved or simply looked over. This is why you see software or firmware updates for many...

As an everyday drive the Agility 4 feels much faster than a traditional drive and gives back those things that stick out most; faster boot times and improved access to data at a great price for the capacity.

Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points below:Positive:Silky smooth operation as a system drive. Excellent sequential writing performance. Outstanding 4K random writing performance at low and high queue depths. Very good 4K...

OCZ has positioned their Agility 4 as a mid-range solid-state drive which is built around the company's Indilinx controller. In our testing we see decent performance, that, when averaged over all our tests, can claim a solid place in our rankings.

If you are in the market for a competitively priced high capacity Solid State drive, then today’s product will be particularly interesting. It wasn’t so long ago that we were waiting for Solid State pricing to crack the £1 per GB barrier.The...

Quite frankly, I NEVER thought I would see any SSD reaching over 400MB/s sequential write performance and also having over 100MB/s random 4k write performance going for anything near this price.

OCZ is bringing us a different kind of performance with the Agility 4. The Agility 4 does improve on the weaknesses of the Agility 3 by delivering a very cost effective drive that performs fantastic when it comes to incompressible writes.

While not the fastest SSD to come through the 'Labs, OCZ's Agility 4 delivers a lot of bang for your buck. Powered by the same Indilinx infused Everest 2 controller as the Vertex 4, the drive uses asynchronous MLC NAND to deliver a fast, responsive...

After taking a look at all of our benchmarks we have come to a couple conclusions. First, if we had to pick I would jump all over the Vertex 4 still. The Agility 4 is a great drive that really outperformed a lot of the competition in most situations,...

In June, 2012 we published a large group test of SSDs with capacities of 120/128 GB and 240/256 GB . Those are still the most popular sizes, judging from what people search for on Hardware.Info. The world of SSDs didn't stand still, and since then a...

The performance numbers (for the price) we saw in the new OCZ Agility 4 are one of the reasons they remain at the top of the solid state drive business. The performance is there dues to a few different advancements in technology. The first and most...

Just because some things are equivalent, does not mean they are the same. In the same way no one refers to "8 Mile Road" as "12.8748 Kilometer Road", or say "Give them 2.54 cm and they will take it 1.609 km" instead of "Give them an inch and they will...
