Easy to install, use and very speedy

Review Date: February 1, 2010

Reviewer: Crispix, San Diego, CA

I replaced my MacBook Pro (unibody) drive with the Agility and am very pleased with the results. Boot time is mere seconds from the initial "chime" to login. Applications launch instantly: there's no "bouncing" of icons in the dock -- the window just appears!

Some minor issues: in order to get the drive installed on the Macbook, I had to remove some of the screws on the original drive with pliers, since I don't have the special screwdriver that Apple requires. (This has nothing to do with the Agility, just a Mac issue.) Upgrading the OCZ firmware (not required, very optional) is straightforward, but you have to follow the instructions from the OCZ site very carefully. I would recommend this drive as a perfect blend of price/performance for a laptop computer. No need to get the more expensive Vertex: this makes my computer fly.

Good Stuff For Mac

Reviewer: Nicholas F. Tiangco,

Keeps the mac cooler and bootup times and app launches are noticeably faster. However, with the ssd in a mac, keep in mind no trim support and the performance degradation problem.

Garbage

Reviewer: Deimos, Alberta

As another reviewer stated this is a failed device. His failed in 3 months, mine lasted 7 days after arrival. It dropped in and out constantly, would vanish at random from hard drive list, was slow and totally failed in a week. OCZ also has horrid support, they know they are selling junk because they were offering a 100$ rebate when ordered from their site that you would mail in but if you accepted the rebate you voided your replacement/refund options somehow. Complete garbage, failed device from a shady failed company.

Drive failed after 3 months.

For the 1st 3 months of operation, I was pleased with the increased speed this drive provided, but I'd spent the extra money for reliability (no moving parts & 1,500,000 hours mean time between failure) as well as speed. It was installed with an Asus P6T mother board, i7 920 processor & operating Vista Ultimate. In early December, I was upgrading to windows 7 and within 5 seconds of beginning the initial survey of the computer, the drive failed. BIOS couldn't see it at all. Data recovery was tried by Stellar Data Recovery - 1st in New Jersey and then in India, but without success. OCZ was willing, and ultimately did, replace the drive, but was no help in the recovery try. The controller chip that was corrupted is soldered via micro ball array to the same board as the memory chips. OCZ won't sell just the controller chip or get involved with data recovery. Recovery on a ssd is much more difficult and expensive than with a disc drive, so be sure your backups are curent.
