  I was going to say how strange it is to see AMD on an SSD, but then again Intel have been doing it for years…

      I agree especially after my experience with OCZ, or is it Toshiba that bought them?

      edit: I see that is answered below

        I agree too. I was never comparing the two.

        Samsung, Intel and Crucial are the only brands I trust (in that order, well Samsung/Intel I trust equally).

        EDIT: Oh and Sandisk probably in last position of trust.

  If anyone is curious, this drive is designed and built by OCZ, using Toshiba NAND. Here's a link to AnnandTech's review, which puts its performance somewhere between the Arc 100 and the Vector 150. So it's okay, but nothing amazing.

    So it's just rebranded.

      Yes, it's just a re-branded OCZ drive, although it's not an exact copy of any of OCZ's own products. The sticker on the back of the drive actually still has a OCZ logo, so it's not a big secret.

  Wait…Since when do AMD do SSD's??

  And why the hell is it "Radeon" branded?

  Dafuq is going on here?

    No clue, when I saw the small excerpt in my RSS feed I thought it was a troll post or something.
    Even more weird considering coz it carries the R7 naming as well!

    Going by how their products are named, you can't escape the conclusion that AMD, Nvidia and Intel are deliberately trying to confuse their own customers…

    They started making them when the R series of video cards came out I believe. They make RAM as well (maybe rebrands?): http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/memory/overview

    AMD don't make SSDs themselves - this is an OCZ-built drive with AMD branding. No doubt it's Radeon branded because AMD want to leverage their well-recognised name in the industry to sell other products.
