IOPS at lower queue depths outpaced by Intel 320 Series, Asynchronous flash makes it slowerthan vertex 3 in some workload scenarios, Street price likely to be on the high side (see below)
While the switch to asynchronous flash memory makes the Agility 3 cheaper to produce and therefore sell, the performance dynamic can shift in either direction, varying with what you plan to do with the drive. Many users saw the same type of thing back...
The performance of the latest OCZ SATA 6G based products are each individually ridiculous really. Even the 'cheaper' Agility 3 has an incredible throughput, excels in IOPs performance and in fact remains excruciation close to it's bigger brother the Verte...

With fast performance and a competitive price, the OCZ Agility 3 SSD makes a very good replacement hard drive for any computer, especially one that has built-in support for SATA 6Gbps.
If you are in the market for a new SATA 6Gb/s SSD, it's really hard to look past the latest SandFoce-powered SSDs. Offering chart-topping performance, these models consistently offer some of the highest speeds measured in our benchmarks. Up until now ...
OCZ's Agility 3 is a mixed bag of performance. For typical desktop workloads and light usage, the Agility 3 looks a lot like a Vertex 3. It's only when you start mixing in data that's not easily compressed/deduped that the Agility misbehaves. As a general...
Abstract: 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 num...
We find the different drives at the following prices: Samsung 840 250GB goes for €160.-, the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB drive for €220.-, and the OCZ Agility 3 240GB is priced at €170.-. The 840 Pro is the clear winner of the performed tests, but also cost...
Abstract: SSD prices are dropping so quickly that it makes more and more sense to have one in your PC. 120 or 128 GB versions you can find already for £90, and for less than twice that you can buy an SSD with double the capacity. It will still take a long time be...
Abstract: What makes one SandForce-based SSD different from the others that appear to be just like it? We round up 10 models with 60 GB of capacity to explore the effects of NAND interfaces. We also stumble across some interesting data related to full drives. Ha...
