File Copy
This test consists of copying our standard 100MB, 500MB and 1GB folder also used in our WinRAR test from one partition to the other, thus requiring reads and writes. The chronometer is started as soon as the "paste" button is clicked and is stopped whenever the window indicating the copy status disappears.
The real-world benchmarks we perform are some of the most important in terms of showing how the drive will perform in the wild. In this benchmark, which tests the copy and paste performance, the Agility 2 was the fastest when dealing with the largest files. It also did very well with 500MB and 100MB files, matching the performance of the fastest drives.
Windows 7 Boot & Shutdown
The title of this test says it all. The countdown starts as soon as we hit "Enter" in the boot manager, until the desktop has appeared and the LAN is connected.
Again, in this real-world benchmark the Agility 2 did an exceptional job. It was the fastest when loading Windows and the shutdown time was tied with the Torqx. The operating system load and shutdown performance offered by SSDs is just phenomenal.

After this coming payday I'm finally buying a 120gb SSD.
Picking up either the Muskin or Gskill sandforce based SSD. The agility 2 60gb is at a great price but the 120gb version is much more expensive than the other sandforce based SSD's, even the ones using the sf 1500 firmware with 50k 4k write IOPS.
You can't go wrong with either of those drives. Though I always buy Mushkin when I can because Denver is my old stomping ground.
