Packaging
The OCZ Radeon R7’s package is wrapped in plastic. The packaging follows the AMD red and black color scheme. AMD’s logo is placed on the front of the packed as well as in the logo on the actual SSD. The package’s size is your typical size and the contents do not seem to be moving around much inside. The back of the packed highlights a few of the features and specification of the R7.
Contents
The SSD is secured in a molded plastic sleeve with the 3.5 adapter adding a little extra protection. Along with the SSD is of course the 3.5 adapter plate and screws as I mentioned a second ago. Also is the paper work. You will find your activation key for Acronis 2014. This is the software to copy the contents from your old hard drive to your new one. This software is extremely handy if you want to keep your existing setup and just want to turn your SSD into your boot drive.
Now let us take a closer look at the SSD itself!
