I got an Agility III 120 gig SSD last week. To say that it is bad is an understatement. I am having pauses rather than stuttering but it has a similar effect, I think that it is trying to reallocate bad sedtors. I clean earased it twice and it has recovered the bad sectors for now but there is more. The AS SSD scores are WAY off what the specs listed claim. The most important being the 4k and 4k 64 thread reads with an overall score of 252. The spec claims: 4K Random Read AS-SSD: 23,000 IOPS (90 MB/s)
4K Random Write AS-SSD: 35,500 IOPS (140 MB/s) while my actuals are:4K Random Read AS-SSD: 4655 IOPS 4K Random Write AS-SSD: 21,549 IOPS, so just a little off.
I requested a RMA requesting another brand as I think that it is a firmware issue and the reply was, I can RMA and it will be tested and I have the option of getting another SSD after testing but only the same exact SSD, no credit no refund no exchanging for another brand. Really? I am pretty sure that this violates state consumer protection laws but even so this is their policy? I find it hard to beleive that you cannot return a defective product and get another brand that isn't.
Last order from Newegg, ever.
