“The OCZ Agility EX looks just like the Agility SSD but
with the obvious labeling differences. Unlike the Agility series,
the EX version is only available in a 60GB capacity (actually, 64GB
is the unformatted capacity) and its read performance is rated for
255MB/s, its write performance up to 195MB/s, and sustained writes
up to 100MB/s. Again, there is 64MB of cache on this SSD (similar
to the Agility series) but with SLC NAND storage compared to the
MLC memory on the former Agility. The Agility EX firmware also
supports TRIM, which has been supported by the Linux kernel going
back to the 2.6.28 release.“Chances are you are already familiar with the technologies
behind solid-state drives and their fundamentals from other
Phoronix reviews or articles elsewhere, so we will continue with
our area of focus, which is the Linux performance.”
