Today we have the Trion 150 on hand, the latest consumer SSD to come out of the Toshiba acquired OCZ brand. Armed with Toshiba's latest 15nm TLC NAND flash memory the Trion 150 is designed to deliver exceptional performance at an unbeatable price, so does it deliver?...

Roughly 6 months ago OCZ released a value-orientated SSD series called Trion 100. The new series made use of parent company Toshiba's premium TLC NAND flash. Upon release pricing wasn't very competitive as the Trion 100 drives were priced well above the Samsung SSD 850 Evo and Crucial BX100 competing drives.

OCZ did quickly address the pricing issue, but even today the Trion 100 series comes at a slightly higher cost per gigabyte than Samsung's TLC series. Even with the improved pricing the Trion 100 series is still significantly slower and based on what we have read online has a very questionable reliability track record.
