OCZ Agility EX 60GB SSD Review

Packaging and Accessories

In typical OCZ fashion, the Agility EX comes in a black clad box with silver font. However, to help distinguish it from other OCZ products, there is a funky green piping on it, much like you would see a racing stripe on a high performance muscle car. It definitely helps highlight the box and helps it stand out from the crowd while still conveying a sense of speed that surprisingly works.


As expect the box has a picture of the Agility EX on the front and a good PR blurb on the back. Also in keeping with OCZ traditions, there are a few basic performance specifications listed on the back and while it may be on the sparse side at least it’s there along with performance numbers from other OCZ drives. This allows for an easy “apples to apples” comparison which will help first time buyers choose the right product for their needs.


Carrying on the traditions OCZ seems to have embraced, the internal protective packaging is just as good as the others we have looked at. The Agility EX comes safely nestled inside a foam and cardboard book-like package, with the drive itself wrapped in an anti-static bag.


Unfortunately, the traditional OCZ list of accessories is extremely sparse and consists of nothing more than a short information and installation pamphlet. This is their mid-tier product so on the one hand we can understand the reasoning behind not including any extras. On the other hand, this is a premium priced SSD and costs almost twice as much as OCZ “enthusiast” Multi-Layer Cell class SSD’s so an SATA cable would have really been a nice touch.
