Just want to share my experience of SSD. I have one OCZ Agility 3 on my desktop and one OCZ Vertex 2 on my laptop. It's really fast, boot up time cut more than 50%. MacBookPro restart took me about 25sec, Win 7 not calculated yet.

IF you have SATA 3, go for SATA 3 version. OCZ Agility 3 60GB is the slowest but yet can achieve 440MB/s. My Vertez 2 can get 280MB/s. The only problem is OCZ have no flash update for mac, and it does not support Primary Drive update.. This is what drive me crazy.

If you can live with current speed then no point spend so much premium, if you can afford and want speed go ahead. My SSD is install for my work not for house pc. You can wait a bit long for home pc.

Slightly more expensive, i think laptop no sata 3 yet.

the small capacity usually is the slowest among the same category. Like mine agility 3 60gb is the slowest among agility 3.

but intel write is slow than other. OCZ and Corsair is fast in both read/write. OCZ (bad in flash update, personal experience)

Our SSD is not design for long lasting. If u need durable ssd get SLC version but price easily double.

I read OCZ forum SSD got a lot of problem is it? My pc always BSOD kernel in page error. My mac ok just window problem. Can someone enlighten me on this?

OCZ is fast but i don't like the support it's sucks..Flash upgrade very troublesome, doesn't support mac. I'm not sure about other brand. For SATA-3 version, now still problem with a lot of BSOD.

SATA 3?

This is my SSD vs HDD performance. OCZ vs WD.

Compare with my Vertex 2, Agility 3 can go beyond 300MB/s .

Very hard to compare...one with window 7 one with mac os lion..I really wanna compare i think vertex is faster because all is install in to SSD. Agility 3 i only use to store window and some apps. Other apps i store in HDD.

your laptop support sata-3?

OCZ firmware 2.11 seems stable for sata 3. the previous version firmware really sucks.

damn i still got kernel in page error...what else can i set

Sold in malaysia?

ACHI on? win 7 default is off.

I am using sanforce controller, agility 3 so far no problem.. Before upgrade the firmware got a lot BSOD.

before i flash firmware a lot of blue screen now is getting lesser. i think still not stable to run on window
