Not only video cards
The Radeon R3 SSD is AMD's second foray into the SSD market. The first one was called AMD Ruby and was nothing more than a renamed OCZ Arc 100 disk. Now we have an independent creation of AMD, albeit one made on a widely used combination of the Silicon Motion SM2256KX controller and 16-nm planar TLC memory SK Hynix.
A simpleton, but not a simpleton
Marking Radeon R3, by analogy with video cards, indicates belonging to the low-cost series of AMD products. And indeed, at the moment it is one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, SSD on the market. It was possible to achieve low cost by using the simplest controller (SM2256KX replaced the even simpler SM2246EN, which could not even work with fast-wearing TLC memory) and abandoning buffer RAM, which, however, was expected with the advent of virtual SLC caching technology .
Fast at short distances
This technology programmatically combines several sections of slow TLC memory into one small (from 1 to 4 GB), but much faster array (RAID 0). As a result, files that are smaller than the virtual SLC cache are written to disk quickly, and larger files are written slowly. In the case of the Radeon R3 SSD, the sequential write speed of the SLC cache is 470 MB / s, and the direct TLC memory is only 50 MB / s. Therefore, we can recommend this SSD for purchase only for those who need the cheapest SSD exclusively for educational and office tasks, but not for resource-intensive games and, moreover, professional applications.
