The AMD R7 Series drives arrive in a red and black box, immediately indicative of the AMD brand.
The rear of the box lists some specifications, including maximum sequential read and write speeds and claimed IOPS performance.
The bundle includes a 3.5 inch desktop mounting bracket, literature on the product, mounting screws and a code for Acronis True Image. This is fantastic software that can mirror your operating system drive directly to the SSD for a smooth change over.
The AMD R7 Series 240GB SSD ships in a heavy little metal chassis, with specifications listed on the rear sticker. The drive measures 7mm thick making it an ideal partner for a super thin ultraportable laptop.
The OCZ Barefoot 3 M00 controller can be seen on the PCB, with the A19nm Toshiba Multi Level Cell (MLC) Flash. AMD claim the drive consumes 0.6 watts when idle and up to 2.7 watts under load. OCZ have clocked the Barefoot 3 controller higher in these AMD units to improve on bandwidth when compared to the Vertex 460. The drive is configured with 7% over provisioning to give the final figure of 240GB.

still, 230-250ish euro for a 500ish gb storage… I would rather wait a few years until the price is the same as HDDs are now or its not worth it. since they will only contain VSTi Samples. I would go for the 250 gb version if it weren’t for the fact that its 15 gb too small :/
