Review on πŸ’¨ OCZ Technology 256GB Agility 4 Series SATA 6Gb/s SSD: Fast Read Speeds up to 420MB/s and 85K Max. IOPS by James Mangum

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Outstanding performance. Very satisfied

Update November 16, 2012: Although the drive is still working properly, the plastic wrap is peeling off the drive label. Excessive heat? I'm not sure but when I tried to remove the part of the laminate that was curling I found the serial numbers were on it too! It appears to be a two piece template, the manufacturer's model and capacity are listed on the disc. itself, but the serial number is on the laminate. I don't know what it means. Why can the serial number be removed? Do I have a gray market product? Going back to my original review, I am posting this review on a computer that has this SSD installed. So far I am very satisfied with this product. Working on a "refurbished" Dell XPS M1530 with Win7 Ultimate. The boot time is only a few seconds for a dual boot Win7/Ubuntu partition. After selecting just a few seconds for login and very few seconds for desktop. The hourglass disappears immediately. Everything click and go! Now I don't have any speed test software, I just know it's the fastest computer I've ever used. Application windows open instantly, songs and images open instantly, videos play without stuttering. Everything is great at the moment!
