We happened to stagger ahead the primary catalog of OCZ's Agility EX 60 GB SSD, which ought to be the cheapest SLC, based 60GB solid state drive on the marketplace. The drive is presently scheduled at Alternate.de with a price of €399 which is almost €100 cheaper than the contest offerings.

The drive makes use of SLC NAND flash memory in amalgamation with the somewhat well-liked Indilinx Barefoot controller. It comes with 64MB of on-board cache as well as present read as well as writes speeds of up to 255 with 195MB/s. The drive is backed by three years of warranty, as well as its closest opponent is SuperTalent's Ultradrive GX SLC SSD, which is accessible for €498. Photofast has a G-Monster V4S SSD for €375 but this one gives you only half the capability.

OCZ is definitely keeping up with the SSD game, particularly thanks to the steady support with innovative features like auto garbage collecting for Vertex drives, with stable firmware updates, somewhat those customers surely can be thankful for.
