OCZ Trion 100 240GB and 480GB SSD

The packaging for the Trion 100 drives is very simple – a high resolution image of the product can be seen on the front of the box, along with the capacity, bottom right.

The rear of the box has more detailed specifications – some of which we listed on the previous page.


As these drives are aimed at the budget audience, there are no accessories or extras to list.


Both drives ship in the same pale chassis with an OCZ sticker visible on the front of the case. Opening this particular chassis is easy enough, simply pop open with a flat head screwdriver.

Both drives are built on a tiny little PCB which only takes up part of the space inside the chassis.


The images above show the 240GB drive (top row) and the 480GB (bottom row). The larger drive has twice as many NAND flash chips installed, although one side of the PCB is completely spartan in both capacities, as shown above. The controller is made in house by Toshiba, model number TC58NC1000GSB-00. There is a NANYA SDRAM chip installed, model NT5CC128M16FP-D1 on the 240GB model and NT5CC256M16DP-D1 on the 480GB model.


OCZ's SSD Guru is a useful piece of software that offers a lot of control over the drives. You can perform a secure erase, check for BIOS updates and analyse temperatures, check SMART status and check interface parameters and health.
