With the Agility 4 series, OCZ has introduced new features which offer an overall boost to performance, for instance the Ndurance 2.0 NAND flash management suite designed to increase the life of your SSD along with correction capabilities up to 128-bits per 1KB of data. Ndurance 2.0 also helps to eliminate the deterioration of NAND flash. The drive's low latency access times of 0.04ms reads and 0.02ms writes meanwhile help your applications or games load faster.
Overall my time spent testing the Agility 4 256GB was a real treat from the moment I installed Windows 7 onto the SSD. The Agility 4 offered quick response times as well as ample room for all of our test suites with room to spare. If you are looking to upgrade from an older Sandforce-based solid state drive, I would highly recommend you check out the Agility 4 series. It is available in several storage capacities ranging from 64GB up to 512GB, and offers the lowest cost per gigabyte compared to other solid state drives of the same size.

Regardless, in recent years SSDs have been doing better than HDDs in every category except cost per GB, longevity, and total capacity, having resolved poor write times some time ago. Now it seems a matter of finding a cost-effective way of getting high capacities out of these without compromising endurance and making it so it costs even less per GB and it would be a viable alternative to HDDs for everyone.
That is, assuming they've also solved that issue with SSDs not doing so well after 10's of thousands of rewrites? I guess HDDs still have the edge there too?
If so, there is always the next generation of storage. I don't remember the details, but I know they're working on it.
