Whenever I go to university, I park my car at a location about eight minutes' walk away from the engineering building. Now, eight minutes of walking is not too far away, but if you ask me what the best way to get from the engineering building to my car is, I would have to say it is to take the bus. Why? Because if I take the bus, I am statistically going to be faster most of the time, or at least tie the normal walking pace at worst. Although it takes two minutes to talk to the bus stop, a bus comes every two minutes on average (Any bus from that stop will work), with a maximum wait time of four minutes. It takes the bus about two minutes to get to the parking lot. This makes the average traveling time using the bus six minutes, including the wait time, with a maximum of eight minutes and minimum of four minutes. In other words, even if maximum wait time occurs, I have lost nothing -- yet any time a bus comes before the four minute mark, I have gained everything. As you can see here, an understanding of parameters and sufficient real life statistics allow us to apply elements of optimization theory to make our lives better with better decisions. In September last year, I reviewed the OCZ Trion 100 480GB, a value oriented SSD that was not bad in read performance, but definitely suffered when it came to write speed. Fast forward half a year or so, OCZ shook up a few things, and came up with the Trion 150. The updated model features new 15nm TLC NAND flash memory as well as firmware updates to give it a boost in performance, while keeping things chugging along at a rather competitive $140 at press time. The Trion 150 does not promise to break any speed records, but it does promise to be a venerable alternative to a moderately sized hard drive. Will these changes in parameters impress us with its statistics to make a purchase decision? We benchmarked one to find out.
