Review on ๐Ÿ’พ OCZ Storage Solutions Trion 100 Series 240GB SATA III 2.5" Solid State Drive - Reliable and Lightning-Fast Performance by Tom Tofte

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Died 4 months later -- no longer recognized by BIOS

I used this to run a homemade Plex Media Server PC. This was the main operating system drive, and a standard high-capacity hard drive was used for the media. The driver worked great. It loaded quickly and served Plex media quickly. Great, until about 3 months later the computer crashed. Reboot shows that the drive is not even recognized by the BIOS. I pulled it out and tried it on other PCs, didn't help. The good news is that OCZ replaced the drive quickly, but I had already replaced it with a Sandisk SSD in the meantime. I thought maybe I was lucky but based on the reviews of this SSD they seem to have quality issues in OCZ. If you have this drive and it hasn't failed yet, I highly recommend going to the OCZ website and downloading the updated firmware for the drive, which should prevent crashes like mine did. Once it goes away, it goes away, but an updated firmware can prevent the problem.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
