Firmware version: SAFZ12.2

The OCZ Trion 150 is aimed at the budget end of the consumer
SSD market, and is the successor the popular OCZ Trion 100 range of SSDs.  The
Trion 150 is powered by a Toshiba branded SSD controller, and is coupled to
Toshiba 15nm TLC NAND.

As stated above, the Trion 150 is targeted at the budget end
of the market, and is aimed at low end PCs, laptops, or as a data storage drive,
on perhaps a more powerful PC, where a higher performance SSD is being used,
such as the OCZ Vector 180 as a system drive.

The OCZ Trion 150 is available in capacities of 120GB,
240GB, 480GB, and 960GB. The version I am looking at today is the 480GB
version.

Now it’s time to take a look at the drive itself and what it
came shipped with.

Being a budget SSD, you get a bare drive and installation
manual.

The casing of the OCZ Trion 150 is an all metal affair. The
drive is fairly lightweight, but solidly built.

You can also download and install OCZ’s excellent SSD GURU
software, which allows the firmware to be updated, and allows the user to carry
out various maintenance/diagnostic tasks on the Trion 150 SSD.

The Trion 150 also comes with OCZ Shield Plus warranty,
which means that if the drive should fail within the three year warranty period,
OCZ will ship you out a brand new SSD as an advanced replacement, thereby
keeping down time to a minimum. OCZ will also supply you with a pre-paid return
label, so that you can return the defective SSD free of charge.
