OCZ Agility 3 120 GB,Internal,2.5" (AGT3-25SAT3-120G) (SSD) Solid State Drive

I buyed this drive to replace my magnetic 250GB hdd. I use Linux as O.S.
In my netbook (Asus 1215P) hard disk replacment was difficult, because Asus don't make a door in case for this operation, and I have to disassemble case, very difficult operation due to plastic hangs fragility.
However, I mounted this drive and at least I can work without noise of magnetic hard dirive, that seems have to break in any time.
I'm very satisfied with this drive: I'm using with my SATA2 interface, so isn't so fast as it could is, but affidability of SSD vs Magnetic HDD is, in my opinion, much much better.

I don't see how it's faster than a raid configure But it does what it's supposed to do .
Below are the finer qualities that i do like about the OCZ Agility 3 120 GB,Internal,2.5" (AGT3-25SAT3-120G) (SSD) Solid State Drive
OCZ Agility 3 SATA III Solid State Drives are designed and built to provide an exceptional balance of performance and value. The Agility 3 Series implements the cutting-edge SATA 6Gbps interface to deliver excellent sequential and random data transfer rates, significantly improving your computing experience over hard drives.

In addition to enhanced performance, an Agility 3 upgrade promotes cooler, quieter, and more energy efficient conditions compared to traditional mechanical hard drives. With no moving parts, SSDs provide peace of mind with their superior durability and reliability. Unique and innovative, Agility 3 SSDs deliver a one-of-a-kind storage solution.

This is the fastest SSD drive in the market. I clocked it's performance at 111MB/s reads. It does reserve a partition of about 100mb in the drive for its internal operation. The drive also saves a lot of power. Another advantage, it isn't susceptible to failure because of a drop; like regular hhds do.
It has smaller capacity than mainstream drives. With a separate controller card you can place 2 or 3 of this to create a RAID 0 stripped drive; the speed of the drive.

This drive has lowered the boot time of my computer by 75%, dollar for dollar it is the best upgrade you can make to a laptop or desktop.

This SSD was the first SATA III SSD I tested to start upgrading the newest of the MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt models which feature SATA III main controller.

The increase in performance was easily noticed compared to the fastest SATA II SSD's I've ever used (I have used most of them on the market). Specifically boot time was much faster on OS X Lion, and Windows 7 boot was so fast, the little colorful logo animation did not even have time to complete it's motion, the system was booted.

At $165 average price for this drive right now, I have not found a better drive for the money. I highly recommend to all.

The OCZ Agility 3 has been a great upgrade to my desktop I built last year. Takes about 30 seconds to load windows and be up and running. There are better ssd's out there, but for the price, it's value can't be beat. would definatly buy it again.
