AMD Releases R3 Series of SSDs
AMD has just released their new R3 series of SSDs, offering some competitive pricing and a Radeon themed aesthetic.
These SSDs are designed to deliver great pricing, using TLC NAND and using a Silicon motion SM2256KX controller, which is the same controller that is used in a lot of popular SSDs today. This SSD will come with a 3-year warranty and is fully compatible with both AMD and Intel hardware.
Superior in value and performance. Get up to 10x the speed of a traditional hard drive. Bring new life to your tired PC for far less cost than you would expect.
Being a Value oriented SSD we never expected to see this SSD achieve chart-topping performance, but the 240GB model and above are able to achieve speeds of 520MB/s reads and 470MB/s writes, which is pretty good for a budget oriented SSD.
Full specifications for the AMD Radeon R3 SSD below.
Right now these SSDs are available in the US and Canada, with the US pricing being as follows, $40.99 for the 120GB model, $69.99 for the 240GB model and $136.99 for the 480GB model. These prices came from Amazon US.
