AMD Radeon R7 SSD (240GB) Review
by Kristian Vättö on August 28, 2014 6:00 AM ESTPower Consumption
Slumber power consumption remains high due to the lack of low power state (HIPM+DIPM) support, which is a dealbreaked for a mobile user but for desktop users the power increase is negligible. Load power consumption is much more reasonable with the max staying below 3W.

I don't know why the samsung 840 Pro is absent form the benchies comparaison SSD list ! which would be the most interesting one !I Owns 3 SSD from OCZ and a beautiful old school golden DDR3 1600, none of them failed, Agility 3 240 GB was bought 3 years ago for 140 bucks when SSD s were very expensive and was already achieving 550 mbps transfer speeds, few BSODS though.

Power Consumption charts are incomplete. SSDs spend most of their time in an Idle state. Your charts would be more helpful if they included simple Idle state power consumption. After all, millions of laptops and notebooks in everyday use do not have dev-slp or other advanced power options of the latest models, and those owners would be well-served knowing, for example, that a Samsung EVO draws much, much less power when idling compared to a Corsair Neutron GTX or Vertex 4, etc.andrewbaggins - Friday, May 15, 2015 - link
OCZ went broke because they had to replace a huge, HUGE number of faulty drives, and many of those had to be replaced a second time! Cash flow could NOT sustain such overheads, and using their customers as guinea pigs for SSDs with half-baked controllers won them few admirers among bankers asked to back them when things started spinning out of control. MAYBE their drives are OK now and MAYBE they are much reliable, but those who were once/twice bitten are right to be twice/thrice shy of OCZ.Leyawiin - Saturday, September 12, 2015 - link
$99 now at Amazon. For the performance it has, warranty and accessories that's a pretty decent deal.
