Overall and FV
After taking a look at all of our benchmarks we have come to a couple conclusions. First, if we had to pick I would jump all over the Vertex 4 still. The Agility 4 is a great drive that really outperformed a lot of the competition in most situations, but it’s still clear in the other results that the Asynchronous NAND holds it back. Of course, the reason for this is to offer a cheaper solution to the Vertex 4. My recommendation is to do your best to go with the extremely fast Vertex 4 if you have any flexibility in your budget. If you don’t have that flexibility the Agility 4 is still a good option as long as you consider that the amazing performance that you will see isn’t going to be amazing in every single situation. Building every PC is full of compromises and the Agility is basically designed for those situations, it is a happy medium between cheaper older drives and the Vertex 4. It’s hard to be too mad at the Agility 4 for having a faster, more handsom brother. When you take the Vertex 4 out of the picture, the Agility 4 is still a great drive.
