OCZ Trion 100 (240GB, 480GB & 960GB) SSD Review: Bringing Toshiba to the Retail
by Kristian Vättö on July 9, 2015 12:01 PM ESTMixed Random Read/Write Performance
For full details of how we conduct our Iometer tests, please refer to this article.
In mixed random performance the Trion at least isn't the only drive that performs poorly because the Ultra II is nearly as bad, but that's is a very little delight.
Power follows the same pattern as we saw in the two previous pages: it's not specifically higher than others but when performance is taken into account the efficiency is rather poor.

In terms of scaling the Trion is just generally slow; there's no particular distribution that stands out except pure writes but that was expected given the poor random write performance in the first place.
Mixed Sequential Read/Write Performance
In mixed sequential performance, once again, the Trion is at the bottom and this time the power consumption is also higher than the rest.

Hi sonny73n,Thank you for your comment. You are right there is still a price gap between SSD and HDD. With the introduction of Trion 100 and OCZ adjusting prices quickly with the market trend we hope to narrow that price gap and making this SSD affordable for the mass market. Thank you again for your feedback and words of encouragement.

"considering the Samsung alternative" Really?I have an 840 EVO from not too long ago in my laptop and I'm so ready to send it to the trash. There's an article here about its problems which Samsung have been incapable of fixing with new firmware updates that you should take a look on. Beside, I consider it's cheating when Samsung use my system RAM as cache for their SSD. My next SSD definitely won't be Samsung's.

Samsung is terrible SSD manufactuer, in fact Intel was the only SSD that passed Torture Testinghttp://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-st...

I've heard of a "one trick pony" before.I've never seen a "one link troll" before now.
The linked article doesn't even involve Samsung SSD's.
Not only are you a troll, you're an ignorant troll.

Toshiba's silence on the drive probably makes enthusiasts nervous about this drive, if they weren't already nervous considering OCZ's heritage... This might be a tough sell indeed.jabber - Sunday, July 12, 2015 - link
To be honest SSDs like these should be marketed cheap and largely aimed at SATA I/II kit owners. A lot of kit out there is still only SATA II and to be honest the cheapest SSD out there will push 260MBps all day long and still feel light speed fast compared to the 5400rpm 65MBps HDD it replaced. No point bothering trying to say they compete for SATA III owners. Hence why I buy a lot of the Kingston V300 SSDs. Most here wouldnt touch them but they are reliable, the cheapest and will push a SATA II laptop or PC to its max.romrunning - Thursday, July 9, 2015 - link
"OCZ wasn't involved in the development of the Trion 100, but it did help Toshiba to validate the drive. "With OCZ's past history, I found that statement to be quite humorous! :)

Yeah. I was expecting the relationship to work the other way round.The_Assimilator - Thursday, July 9, 2015 - link
It makes sense, since OCZ has far more SSD experience than Toshiba; that's why Toshiba bought them. Unfortunately it looks like OCZ's "validation" procedures haven't changed much from the days of the Vertex 2 debacle.
