OCZ Solid State Drives
OCZ Technology has one of the most extensive SSD line-ups in the industry. They not only offer solid state drives in the traditional 1.8", 2.5" or 3.5" hard disk drive form factors, but also less common upgrade paths like PCI Express and USB 3.0.
Their 2.5" SATA family alone offers four different product segments :
- Maximum Performance / Enterprise : OCZ Vertex 2 EX, OCZ Vertex 2 Pro and OCZ Vertex EX
- Performance / Enterprise : OCZ Vertex Limited Edition, OCZ Agility 2 and OCZ Vertex 2
- Mainstream : OCZ Vertex
- Value : OCZ Onyx
Today, we will be looking at the OCZ Agility 2 (E) 60 GB solid state drive, which is one of their Performance / Enterprise-grade solid state drives. It features the following key features :
-
Superb 4K random writes up to 10,000 IOPS
-
Cooler, quieter and more energy efficient than hard disk drives
-
TRIM support for better performance and longer lifespan in Windows 7
-
2 million hours MTBF
-
3 years warranty
Let's find out how well this drive performs!
Packaging
The OCZ Agility 2 comes in a nice, shrink-wrapped cardboard box. The entire series appears to use the same packaging, with just a black sticker on the upper left corner to identify the drive inside. At the back, the packaging lists the common specifications of the OCZ Agility 2 series of solid state drives.
Inside the outer cardboard packaging is a box that opens like a book. The OCZ Agility 2 drive lies recessed within this box, together with a packet of screws (seen to the left of the drive in the picture above), an installation manual and a sticker. OCZ also included a 3.5" drive bay adaptor, which at first glance, doesn't seem to be in the package... It's actually embedded at the back of the box.
When you take everything out, this is what you should get :
- One OCZ Agility 2 60 GB solid state drive
- One OCZ 3.5" drive bay adaptor
- One packet of 8 mounting screws
- One OCZ Agility 2 installation guide
- One "My SSD Is Faster Than Your HDD" sticker
