We already mentioned this last week. However I finally have gotten the photo's and full specs in plus some more info on the controller used. The new SSD is a budget series that will take over from Core and Solid, and comes with the Indilinx controller, yet with slightly cheaper NAND flash memory.

According to an OCZ employee it's has 70% the performance of the Vertex series yet is prices way better. So that makes it super fast and cost-effective, which is a hard balance to strike, yet somehow the company has managed to do just that.

The Agility series has a faster speed than the basic Solid series and is based on MLC or multi-level cell storage. In fact, the read speed can reach upwards of 235MB/sec and the write speed is about 135MB/sec. Not the fastest in the world, but pretty impressive nonetheless.

It can also withstand 80MB/sec for prolonged writing. This 2.5-inch SATA drive will work with just about any notebook or desktop computer. It
