AMD gets back into SSDs with value Radeon R3 drives

From InfoWorld: AMD is jumping back into the SSD (solid-state drive) market with Radeon drives for laptops and desktops.

The SSD offerings are four Radeon R3 drives with storage capacities of 120GB, 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB. AMD launched Radeon R7 drives in 2014.

The new drives are affordable, with the entry-level 120GB SSD priced at US $40.99. The drives will plug into a computer's 2.5-inch drive slot and are compatible with the SATA III 6GB interface.

Amazon is the only retailer selling the Radeon SSDs and has the product listed as "AMD Memory R3." The 240GB drive is $69.99 and the 480GB drive is $136.99. The 120GB drive is already shipping while the others will ship in nine to 11 weeks. The 960GB is not yet listed, and AMD couldn't immediately provide pricing information on it.
