OCZ Trion 150 vs PNY CS1311

[MoonKnightBlack]

Which one is more reliable ? I want to buy OCZ Trion 150 but I read that OCZ has a bad reputation. PNY CS1311 has better reviews on amazon but has a lower  benchmark score.Is the difference noticeable if I am not transferring data? Which one is a better option.

I like the TRION 150 best in my opinion.

Have you ever used it? I am worried about it dying on me.

I have a friend who does and his works fine. No issues with it

meh, they're both planar TLC NAND - I'd search for something else, something with MLC NAND

Are they more reliable? I need an SSD for my laptop's OS.Can you recommend any good MLC NAND SSD?

if you have the $, buy a Samsung 850 EVO - it's 3D V-NAND

I like you how call out TLC and then recommend a TLC based drive.

Is it worth 28$ more?

Also is it more reliable ?

IMHO, no, it's not worth the extra money and yes it is more reliable, but it doesn't actually matter. All modern SSDs are so reliable that it basically doesn't even make a difference anymore. And unless you're writing terabytes of data constantly (and to another equally fast device) the increased speed of the 850 Evo isn't even noticeable. What's really noticeable about an SSD that makes them seem fast is the latency (which again, on most modern SSDs are all very similarly low).

Which one would you pick between OCZ Trion 150 and PNY CS1311 ?

Whatever is cheaper, they are both fine.

Both of them cost 60$, I want to buy  OCZ Trion 150  but I am worried about it dying on me as OCZ has a reputation for failing.

Either is fine, both are pretty similar.

that's not planar TLC, that's 3D stacked TLC at 40nm+

huge difference

 

I don't recommend planar TLC because of the cell voltage drift, the smaller the cells the faster the performance degrades

he wants to spend money on a SSD that will go to read speeds as lower (or even lower) than a HDD .. fine by me, I gave an advice

That's a valid point, however the vast majority of people aren't going to be copying large amounts of data to or from their SSD frequently. Nor are they likely to be copying the aformentioned data to anything other than an HDD (internal, external, or over a network). So while the read/write speed isn't nearly as good, it doesn't really matter anyway since it's highly unlikely that the other components (drives) can keep up regardless.

 

If you're someone who's doing serious editing/rendering or just copying data between SSDs all day long, then something like an 850 Evo is no question worth paying almost double for, but for the vast majority of people the only factor that truly matters is the latency.
