The Trion 150 brings a modest performance boost and a marginal price cut over the sixmonthold Trion 100 series.
The editors didn't like
No accessory bundle or software
Middling Performance In Some Tests
No Track Record For 15nm NAND
Mediocre random write performance
Write speed drops when SLC cache is full
Does not support hardware based encryption
Overall sub-par performance
Outperformed by the Trion 100 in many of our tests
No Acronis True Image software included with these drives
Final Thoughts
OCZ has built a reputation of manufacturing quality
High performance SSDs. If you are in the market to replace that aging and slower mechanical drive
Then the TR150 120gb and 24
The Trion 150 is a welcome replacement for the poorlyreceived Trion 100
But it's still not as competitive as it needs to be. It's difficult to recommend this model when the same company offers an MLCbased SSD for the same price.
No accessory bundle whatsoever
Slightly expensive for an entry-level drive
Power efficiency when writing small block size random data is not what it could be.

As a successor to the Trion 100, the Trion 150 delivers improvements where the older drive fails. Compared to the Trion 100, the Trion 150 continues to excel at both sequential reads and writes. While the random read performance seems to take a slight per...

Unlike for processors, we've come to expect bad things from a process shrink for flash. It helps lower costs but often hurts endurance and performance. Until recently the performance penalty was mostly a matter of reduced parallelism from higher-capacity...

Mediocre random write performance, Write speed drops when SLC cache is full, Does not support hardware based encryption
While not OCZ's fastest or most feature packed SSD, the Trion 150 is an easy and affordable way for consumers to improve the performance of their existing desktop or notebook computer. The Trion 150 combines Toshiba's TC58 controller with their new 15nm T...
TLC NAND has lower write speeds, IOPS and endurance than MLC NAND
Now this is a TLC-based solid state drive, so compared to MLC NAND you have slower write performance, lower IOPS, and less endurance. This has not stopped many drive manufacturers from coming out with TLC-based drives. OCZ has tried addressing some of the...

Products like the OCZ ARC 100 and Zotac Premium Edition with MLC flash disarm any value arguments from the Trion 150 right out of the gate. The new Trion improves on some of the performance limitations found in the original model, but that's still not e...
