OCZ has unveiled its entry into the single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash solid state drive market by introducing the Agility EX 64GB model. Normally SLC NAND flash based drives have been reserved for the enterprise market, mainly due to the more expensive flash chips used when compared to multi-level cell flash. However, OCZ is intending to bring the higher performance and greater write/erase cycle endurance of SLC flash to users at an affordable price point. The performance looks impressive  with maximum speeds up to 255MB/s read and 195MB/s write. The initial 64GB model is being offered at a suggested price of $399 US with a three-year warranty.
