The OCZ Trion 100 seriesuses Toshiba's A19 TLC NAND flash and a Toshiba controller. The 120GB SSD claims 550MB/s max sequential read speeds, 450MB/s max sequential writes, 79k IOPS max random reads, and 25k IOPS max random writes. There is a 30TB TBW endurance advertisement and a daily usage guideline of 27 GB/day.
To no real surprise, this 2.5-inch SATA 3.0 SSD is running great under Linux. I picked up the 120GB drive for $60 since that offers me plenty of storage for the benchmark system it will be commissioned for with LinuxBenchmarking.com.
While there are many Windows performance figures with NTFS out there for the Trion 100 series, via the Phoronix Test Suite I ran some benchmarks on the TRN100-25SAT3-120G along with a few other SSDs and uploaded the results to OpenBenchmarking.com. If you're interested in seeing how the OCZ Trion 100 performs under Linux, you can find the test results via this OB result file. To see how your own Linux disk(s) measure up, simply run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1507172-BE-DISKSSDTE92. These were just some quick Linux tests as I bought this unit as opposed to being a review sample, etc.
The OCZ Trion 100 SSD continues running well on Ubuntu Linux and will post any updates if I run into any issues in the months ahead with running Linux benchmarks on it daily via LinuxBenchmarking.com. If you're interested in the low-cost Trion 100 SSD line-up, all of the models can be found at their great prices over on Amazon.
