AnandTech review of Agility 3 240GB mentions the Solid 3:

The Agility 3 (and Solid 3) both use asynchronous NAND.

According to OCZ's Product Sheet it uses a SandForce 2281 controller.

$195 seems pretty cheap for an SSD using one of the newer SandForce controllers.

In for 1. Lowest price on 120GB sata3 I have seen. Got an extra $10 off for new customer discount. Great deal IMO.
Thanks OP

Not to mention OCZ the Company's less than stellar sales ethics track record. :thumbsdown:

Why would you buy something as important as a SSD from a company as shady as OCZ?

Cue OCZ hangers-on in three... two... one...

Not gonna buy until they drop under $1.00 a GB and come in a more reliable drive, seen too many dead SSD's in forums.

OCZ isn't a bad company, but so many others are better IMO (and based on reviewers).

So, by this logic you don't buy hard drives either?
