OCZ TRION 100 - 240 and 480 GB SSD review

We review the all new OCZ Trion 100 series SSDs. These puppies are all about value in a dense and competitive market. This is the first OCZ SSD that is 100% Toshiba proprietary, that includes the controller and NAND flash memory. To make the product cost effective the TRION series come with the latest iteration of Toshiba TLC NAND flash memory. The end result is an SSD series that is nice and very fast, versatile and competitive in terms of pricing.

Great review as always, I might consider moving all my Steam/Origin/Uplay games collection (which is roughly ~2TB) to an SSD like this in the not too distant future, while having a "higher-end" smaller SSD for OS and just a few more "demanding" games. Price is still not quite there, but it's on the right path.
Also nice to find out about OCZ ShieldPlus warranty system, sounds great!

So I have one thing on my mind here that I've been made aware of this last few days of reading a few SSD reviews...
Samsung made it's 840 EVO TLC based drive on a 19nm process - all seemed fine until they later started dropping like flies...
For the 850 EVO TLC drive they reverted to a 40nm process for better durability.
So why would this OCZ 19nm TLC drive be better than Samsung's dramatic failure ?

Interesting review, thanks Hilbert, as always.
I was interested in how OCZ now presents itself on the market, and like you mentioned in the conclusion, how reliable they are. I've had an OCZ Vertex 2 EX as my first SSD, and I was a bit disappointed to have it see dying just after two years, not too long after warranty ended. So a three years guarantee and an additional plan, combined with the presumably low failure rates looks good to me!
As I'm not sure I will be buying a Samsung SSD in the near future (twice burned with two 840evos and the crappy magician software and no fix for the hardware issue therein), I'm trying to get a glimpse on how the competition is doing.
