AMD Radeon R3 480 GB (R3SL0480G2)

AMD Radeon R3 is a line of internal solid-state drives designed to upgrade laptops and desktop PCs, targeting users who need system acceleration without moving to more expensive solutions. The AMD Radeon R3 series includes both 2.5-inch SATA SSDs with a 7 mm thickness for standard laptops and desktops, as well as compact M.2 2280 versions, making the line suitable for a wide range of platforms and build formats. Depending on the specific model, AMD Radeon R3 drives operate through SATA III 6 Gbps, and some M.2 versions also feature PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, so actual performance varies depending on format and model. For SATA variants, sequential read speeds up to 520 MB/s are claimed, while write speeds across different versions can reach approximately 360–470 MB/s, providing noticeably faster operating system loading, application launch, and file copying compared to HDD. The AMD Radeon R3 line also employs TLC or 3D NAND configurations, and available capacities range from entry-level to mid-range storage, specifically from 120–128 GB to 4 TB depending on form factor. AMD Radeon R3 should be considered as an SSD series for systems where compatibility, easy upgrades, a choice between 2.5" and M.2, and reliable everyday performance matter.
