Pretty nice drives, we put one in a server as the boot drive at work. Fast and seems stable so far.
Was going to buy the cheaper Agility 3 but after researching it seems the Vertex is a better choice for a few dollars more. The Agility 3 uses asynchronous NAND and will perform much slower than the Vertex when dealing with incompressible data.
If you still want the Agility 3 the HARDOCP1214D code will work for this drive as well. Total is $125.
The speed unleashed by this drive is really quite impressive.
One of these is faster than even two of some other ssd's even if in a Raid config.
This drive, on an affordable consumer level, has to be the drive of the year.
Running LMDE as my main OS, I run VM's underneath it.
Talk about how to get performance out of a Virtual Machine,
buy this drive and then you'll know.
