AMD Radeon R7 Series 240GB SSD review 3

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/19/2014 07:11 AM [ 16 comment(s) ]

We review the AMD Radeon R7 series SSD. Based on an Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller the product comes with the latest iteration of Toshiba NAND flash memory. The end result is an SSD that is very fast and competitive in terms of pricing; combine that with endurance and you will get a very fast performing SSD.

Thanks for the review, Hilbert.

This SSD looks really great. While it's not the cheapest one around, it doesn't cost as much as Sandisk Extreme Pro.

Not bad.

However, I have a question: Are you ever going to test the actual Toshiba SSDs? You know, the Q Series PRO? I'd like to know how do they compare to these now as well.

Seems like a good drive.
Question: samsung evo drives shows bad results in degradation test, but Samsung magician (software that came with them) has an "performance optimization" option that can be run manually. Does this improve the results on that test or real life use?

----

Notes:
1- there is an error in hardware used: "8 GB (4x 4096 MB) DDR3 2133 MHZ"
2. Sorry for my english, my native language is spanish.

With the recommended over-provision on my Samsung 840 EVO 1TB, and RAPID Mode enabled I get the following when I bench from multiple programs.



RAPID Mode actually uses your spare system memory to help speed up the drive.

Minimum requirement for RAPID mode is 2GB recommended 4GB free, I would recommend at the minimum an 8GB machine, 16GB is perfect.

So the faster the memory, and better the bandwidth, the more of a boost you will get from RAPID mode.

Over provisioning increases lifespan and also performance, thus the crazy increase in Random Read/Write (IOPS).

I ran the CrystalDisk benchmark last, which is probably why it has the higher numbers for reads/writes.
