The mechanical harddrive is the bottleneck in most consumer systems ( while not gaming ). Good Buy.
Bought 3 SSDs: Good or bad buy?

very good buy, I brought myself 2 Agilitys recently, extremely fast in RAID 0

Where did you find the Agility on sale if I may ask? I literally JUST checked out at Zipzoomfly with 4 copies of Windows 7 and an Intel 80 gb SSD.

Anyways, head on over to the OCZ forums and you'll find rampant rumors that the Agility series are actually faster than the Vertex now. People are claiming that the Agility are shipping with faster NAND chips than before.

Of course, I didn't think about it because last time, when the Intel drives went on sale, I was thinking about it but they sold out way too fast. Now, these three drives are going to be in raid 0 in an i7 920 build I'm going to make soon. Did I get a good buy or not? The reason I ask is, now that I'm reading about these drives, apparently they are slow performers for people who can't afford fast SSDs like OCZ Vertex or Intel? |

Slowly coming down must be completely open to interpretation because I haven't seen an SSD drop in price (not a decent one anyway) in several months.
Personally, I would have also gone with one (or two possibly) now and just waited on the third. A hot $900 is a fair bit to drop on 384GB of hard drive space.

That I will, because right now my two 500 Seagate barracuda's in Raid 0 are plenty fast for what I do and until I really need it no sense wasting the money
