As stated above, the Trion 150 is aimed at consumers looking for an easy and affordable hard drive upgrade. Users could potentially see a large uptick in performance with OCZ claiming up to 550MB/s, sequential write speeds up to 530MB/s and random write I/O performance up to 91,000 IOPS. This performance could yield improved boot time, system responsiveness and optimize storage operations. Users are also given a choice of capacity from 120GB, 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB, meaning they can keep capacity high while increasing performance.

The Trion 150 also comes with endurance claims of 240TB TBW and a three year warranty.
