OCZ releases Agitilty SSD drives

New, affordable MLC based SSD drives with 64MB of cache.

The new drives have 64MB of onboard DRAM to serve as cache, come with the cheaper MLC NAND chips and an unknown controller. I have contacted OCZ to clarify which one.
The onboard 64MB of DRAM should help mitigate random write issues that have plagged JMicron 602 based SSD drives.

Performance numbers below:

• 30GB Max Performance
• Read: Up to 185 MB/s
• Write: Up to 100 MB/s
• Sustained Write: Up to 60 MB/S
• 120GB/60GB Max Performance
• Read: Up to 230 MB/s
• Write: Up to 135 MB/s
• Sustained Write: Up to 80 MB/S

Power consumption is of 2W maximum and 0.5W while in idle.
Early prices in Europe are of 100eur for the 30GB model, 160eur for the 60GB model and around 250eur for the one with 120GB - very close to current prices of the OCZ Solid.
