Tom's Hardware Guide posted a review on the best SSDs for the money



We finally had an opportunity to review OCZ's Agility 4 family (we went ahead and bought every available capacity on Amazon). That story should be going live shortly, but we'll give you a teaser here. Overall, we came up with impressive results. As the budget-oriented derivative of the company's Vertex 4, the Agility 4 is a worthy successor to the Agility 3. We did end up with a few complaints, though. Even after recent price drops, the Agility 3 and 4 cost about the same at each capacity point. However, the older SandForce-powered Agility 3 is a bit faster in our trace-based testing. As a result, if feels like you get more bang for your buck with an Agility 3 right now.

The debate ends up being pretty pointless, though. When it comes to pricing, there are fairly small gaps separating the value-oriented Agility and performance-oriented Vertex families, especially if you're taking full advantage of available rebates and special offers. It's most natural for us to recommend the faster Vertex, then.
