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

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.

Summarizing the results, OCZ's Trion 150 480GB SSD offered great performance in read tests although it could be faster in the write part, and delivers an overall good value, considering its retail price.The drive gave some very high and competitive sequen...
The Trion line from OCZ always intended to be more of a budget oriented drive that tendrf to focus on reads more so than writes; this remains true with the Trion 150 as well, but with a few improvements. While there were a few dips in 4K read speed (and...

There are still many who have yet to experience what it is like to have an SSD in their system. With the many benefits from such an easy and simple upgrade and thanks to high competition, SSDs are now a viable option for almost any budget build. Sure, the...
Low, albeit not the lowest, cost for high capacity SSDs, Supports TRIM, NCQ, and RAID, New Toshiba controller and NAND provide exceptional performance in most applications
Performance still not as good as MLC drives, especially in iOPS, No included utility or migration software, Only a 3year warranty

Though I'd still recommend an MLC SSD for the best overall experience with large data sets, the Trion 150 will actually perform faster than many SSDs in normal, everyday use. If you find it at an unbeatable price, go for it...
