OCZ Vertex 4 128GB or OCZ Agility 3 120GB

[S Kent]

I am willing to add a new 120GB SSD in my system and I have narrowed down my choice to OCZ Vertex 4 128GB and OCZ Agility 3 120GB. Currently I am confused between both. I am not able to make out which one will be better. I haven’t used OCZ Vertex or OCZ Agility SSD’s earlier so I don’t have much idea about them, is there anyone who can suggest me the best between them according to their experience??? Thanks in advance.

OCZ VERTEX 4 SATA III 2.5" 128GB SSD is better as compared to OCZ AGILITY 3 SATA III 120GB SSD, so as the price. If you don’t have any issue with than then I will suggest you to go with OCZ Vertex 4 128GB.
It is available for Rs. 9,900.00 approximately where as OCZ Agility 3 120GB is available for Rs. 7,400.00. OCZ Vertex 4 128GB would be worth paying the extra money over OCZ Agility 3.

+1 for OCZ Vertex 4 128GB, I have bought it recently and have connected it to Sata600 rather than sata300 and I am getting quite better performance.
