just avoid the agility, sure i read somewhere after toshiba's buy out of ocz they no longer honour warranties but that may be totally wrong and not apply to the UK/EU.

Hope I'm not too late, but I'd be much more tempted by the Plextor drive out of that lot.

Edit: Doh, sorry! Thought it was the Plextor M5 Pro.

You'll be pleased with it, coming from an ancient laptop the boot was cut from about 3 minutes to under 10 seconds :eek:

+1 for the Samsung, great drive. Good read/writes and solid reliability. Enjoy.

I got the Samsung the other week. Boot time are so quick. I press 'on' - get the windows start-up logo and i'm at my desktop instantly with all my start-up programs open.
