OCZ Agility EX 60GB SSD Review

Read Bandwidth

For this benchmark, HDTach was used. It shows the potential read speed which you are likely to experience with these hard drives. The long test was run to give a slightly more accurate picture.

We don’t put much stock in Burst speed readings and this goes double for SSD based drives. The main reason we include it is to show what under perfect conditions a given drive is capable of; but the more important number is the Average Speed number. This number will tell you what to expect from a given drive in normal, day to day operations. The higher the average the faster your entire system will seem.


Considering the fact that 60/64GB versions of all Indilinx drives have much lower performance specifications than the 120/128GB models, all we can say is WOW. As usual the “burst” numbers are wonky but this mighty little power house comes within striking distance of its much larger MLC-based brethren.

Write Performance

For this benchmark HD Tune Pro was used. To run the write benchmark on a drive, you must first remove all partitions from that drive and then and only then will it allow you to run this test. Unlike some other benchmarking utilities the HD Tune Pro writes across the full area of the drive, thus it easily shows any weakness a drive may have.


Wow, that is fast. We really hope and wish that OCZ will release a 120GB version of this beast as we can’t even imagine how much faster that would be. As it stands this drive lands firmly in first place and beats all competitors easily. Heck, with the exception of the Vertex, it down right destroys the other Indilinx’s SSDs in this test!
