    Radeon... I hate the AMD ever bought ATi. Ruined that company and use the name for junk drives like these. I'd rather spend more and get some Intels, or at least a SanDisk or something. We have had good luck with both.

    yeap, the latest releases (290, 390, Fury) have been a mix of botched and disappointment
    and the drivers, oh dear ...

    Sounds like the words of a rational, level headed thinker who's done his testing to back up his "junk drive" claims. Oh wait! :)

    Looks like some TLC drives (the infoworld article did not even mention these new drives are TLC or MLC, what an article), so I won't buy these.

    The ones I mentioned as good are. Others have failed. Good enough for me.
