Review on πŸ’Ύ OCZ Storage Solutions Trion 100 Series 240GB SATA III 2.5" Solid State Drive - Reliable and Lightning-Fast Performance by Stephen Vasquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love this little gem.

It's in my wife's computer and this is my first non-work purchase of an SSD. I know it's an inferior drive, but it's impressively fast for a great price! It's used for typical things like web browsing, using Word and other office suite programs, and casual gaming sessions. That's admittedly a little undercapacity at 120GB, but for most people who don't have a lot of pictures/videos/music, 120GB is plenty. Unlike your old-school mechanical drive, it doesn't make any noise. I see no reason to buy anything more expensive than this drive. I've used many different SSDs, even Samsung 840/850 drives, and it's a bit difficult to see a huge difference in normal activities that don't involve benchmarking. When you're not benchmarking for a living, this is a sweet little ride! I highly recommend it! ***UPDATE*** Well after 1 year the drive died. The computer was turned off and could not start Windows. I've checked the drive on multiple computers and it's dead, the BIOS can't see it. I requested an RMA and they gave me a new CD very quickly. This drive is guaranteed for 5 years. Thanks for the speedy recovery, OCZ/Toshiba. I lost all data on the drive so this is a big disappointment. ** If you found this review helpful, please mark it as helpful by clicking Yes below. **
