APH Networks has just published a review of the OCZ Trion 100 480GB SSD. You can see our evaluation here for comparison purposes.

If you need some solid reasons to drive to the store and Trion this product, then I am going to state it now: The OCZ Trion 100 480GB is an SSD with strong read performance for consumer based workloads. Puns aside (I promised my colleague Aaron Lai to plug it into this review somehow, so here it is), from our PCMark Vantage application performance benchmark to PassMark PerformanceTest 8.0 simulated workloads, the latest drive marketed under the OCZ brand delivers.
 
OCZ? Sorry, but right now that brand is an automatic skip. Ask me again in a couple of years.

And the thread went idiot in one.

OCZ went out of business and the brand was bought by Toshiba. Toshiba manufactures the drives. OCZ no longer manufactures anything. They exist in name only.

This gets repeated EVERY FUCKING TIME an OCZ thread pops up yet there's always someone who still hasn't gotten the memo from two years ago.

On November 27, 2013, OCZ Technology stock was halted. OCZ then stated they expected to file a petition for bankruptcy and that Toshiba Corporation expressed interest in purchasing its assets in a bankruptcy proceeding.[20][21] On December 2, 2013, OCZ announced Toshiba agreed to purchase nearly all of OCZ's assets for $35 million.

No. OCZ is an economy brand and being owned by Toshiba doesn't change that. Only time will tell if it's a brand of sufficient quality.

Hrm. Right.

A test currently being run by KitGuru shows that its five samples of the OCZ ARC100 240GB SSD, which was released after Toshiba acquired ZCO's assets, have withstood 22 terabytes of writes without any major failures.[29]

Needless to say Wiki needs to be updated... but since I know you won't bother to look, I'll give you the summary here.

All drives exceeded 300TB before failure. At 240GB capacity, this means you'd have to write to the entire drive a minimum of 1,250 times before it'd die.

http://www.kitguru.net/components/s...nge-update-all-5-arc-100-ssds-hit-300tb-mark/

First drive hit failure at 322TB.
Second hit failure at 352TB.
Third hit failure at 384TB.
Fourth hit failure at 424TB.

And the fifth? 695.5TB.

They're different. Time to pull your fingers out of your ears and stop going "LALALALALALA"
 
Not much to add but fuck OCZ. I had a terrible tech support ordeal with them and they are dicks on their forum - and to top it off one of their drives I owned failed recently.

in past 3 years or so, i bought 300+ OCZ drives (arc, vertex, vector series) and they are used in industrial setting, none shows any sign of failure, and they run 24/7
