    OCZ launches a couple of new SSDs: Agility 3 60GB and 120GB and OCZ Solid 3 60GB and 120GB.

    Agility 3 is rated at 50,000 IOPS, Solid 3 at 20,000 IOPS. Both have SandForce SF-2281 controller and three year warranty.

    These will be priced lower than Vertex 3.

    Did you accidentally add an extra zero to the Agility 3?

    Does the Solid 3 use different flash NAND as that is a huge difference in IOPS from the Agility 3...?

    I guess firmware is different. NAND may also be different.

    The solid reaches lower sequential speeds so that seems to indicate different NAND.
