OCZ Storage Solutions, which is now a part of Toshiba Group, has announced its latest addition to the solid state drive lineup, the new Trion 100 SSD.

Based on Toshiba controller and Toshiba 19nm TLC NAND, the OCZ Trion 100 SSD is a cost-optimized SSD aimed solely at consumer market. While it uses cost-effective TLC NAND, OCZ has implemented a rather neat SLC-caching technology that uses a small 1.5 percent fixed SLC cache in order to provide better write performance.

To be available in 120GB, 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities, the new OCZ Trion 100 SSD is actually a completely Toshiba-made SSD, which is pretty much why the detail regarding specific features are pretty unknown.

Despite being based on TLC NAND, the OCZ Trion 100 SSD provides some rather impressive endurance ranging from 30TBW for 120GB to 240TBW for the 960GB version. It also provides some rather impressive performance figures with up to 550MB/s and 530MB/s for sequential read and write and up to 90K IOPS and 64K IOPS for 4K random read and write performance.

The biggest selling point of the OCZ Trion 100 SSD is its price, which is set at rather low US $57 for the 120GB version, US $88 for the 240GB version, US $185 for the 480GB version and US $370 for the 960GB version.

We already had a chance to review the top of the line 960GB version of the OCZ Trion 100 SSD.
