The Drive

The drive conforms to the dimensions set forth by the 2.5" form factor. It is made of metal to improve its durability and is only 7 mm thick, which makes it compatible with Intel's Ultrabook specification.


Like most recent SSDs, the OCZ Trion 150 uses the SATA 6 Gbps interface. It is compatible with any older SATA standard, but will, in such a case, work at reduced performance.


You will find the SSD controller and 16 flash chips on the PCB. A DRAM chip is also present; it provides the SSD controller with RAM.


The Toshiba controller is the same as on the previous Trion 100 model.


The sixteen TLC flash chips, produced by Toshiba, are built on a 15 nanometer process.
