OCZ Agility 4 256 SSD Review – 57p per GB!

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell August 7, 2012 Featured Announcement, SSD Drives

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64.

Sequential performance is excellent, scoring over 400 MB/s in the write test. 4k QD32 performance is also very strong.

We switch to 0x00 mode, which deals with compressible data. Sequential read performance improves in this mode although all the other results stay pretty much the same. This highlights the strength of the Indilinx Everest 2 controller – strong with both compressible and incompressible data.

Above, some included compares from other leading solid state drives which we have reviewed in recent months.

Remedy Entertainment appoints new CEO

As a creator of art, Remedy Entertainment have gone from strength to strength, with many of their recent releases being critical darlings (FBC: Firebreak aside). Unfortunately, their titles have been slow burners sales-wise, with CEO Tero Virtala stepping down late last year. Now, Remedy has officially revealed that Jean-Charles Gaudechon will serve as the company’s new CEO.

thats a great deal, I still use a small crucial drive for boot, but its too small and I need an upgrade. the 128gB version of this would be ideal, but I would assume its slower?
