OCZ Agility 4 256gb SSD Review

Although still more expensive than a mechanical hard drive, the prices of solid state drives (SSDs) have been steadily dropping as the technology inside these drives becomes less expensive to manufacturer. Some of the SSDs I currently have in my computers can now be had for as little as 50% less than I paid for them just a year or two ago. Now is a great time to move to an SSD because you can pickup larger capacity drives much cheaper than ever before, or get your feet wet with some smaller (120gb) drives being easily found for under $100 regular price. Since their 2011 acquisition of SSD controller manufacturer Indilinx, OCZ has come to market with a variety of new drives over the last year that are all based on the latest Indilinx controller. One of the drive lineups that's seen some new models was the mid-end Agility series, with the release of the Indilinx Infused powered Agility 4. Having an Agility 3 drive that's still in regular use, I couldn't wait to see what the latest Agility 4 had to offer.
