    Need larger SSD

    Hi all
    looking at adding a larger SSD to my desktop, either going to sell my 128GB SSD or put it in wifes laptop. Noticed that Scan have
    OCZ Technology 480GB Agility 3 SSD
    on today only for £195, any reason not to get it?

    Cheers

    Jon

    To flesh it out a bit, the drive will be my OS install drive along with a few games (BF4, ARMA3) and a few applications (photoshop, lightroom, etc).

    I can't speak for the Agility at that size bud, i know the Samsung 840 gets great reviews and I have the Crucial M4, and its been great.

    I do however have an OCZ Solid, which is the budget version of the Agility i believe. Its in a PC that gets used once or twice a week and its been running fine for over a year. I also know a couple folks with the Agility (120Gb) and they can't complain either.

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    I could personally recommend an OCZ drive, I have an OCZ Agility 4 256GB and it's very fast, but they have just gone bankrupt, so warranties could be an issue.
