A quick look at AMD's Radeon R7 SSD

My more cynical side can't help but scoff at the fact that the Radeon R7 is just another Barefoot 3 SSD cooked with a slightly different recipe. But there's nothing wrong with that. The controller has appealing performance characteristics, and this implementation effectively plugs a hole between OCZ's high-end and value-oriented spins on the same core technology. Loyal fanboys will surely appreciate being able to buy another Radeon-branded component to match their other AMD gear.

Despite the sticker on the front, though, this is very much an OCZ product. That company is even handling the support and warranty service. Whether there's anything wrong with that depends on whether you believe OCZ has turned a corner since being acquired by Toshiba last year.
