Quick Report

AMD has confirmed that its Radeon drivers are causing excessive writes to SSDs and says it plans to address the issue in Adrenalin 26.11.1. The company has not yet released that driver update.

Repeated writes can add unnecessary activity to a storage drive, making the driver behavior worth watching for affected Radeon users. Until AMD ships the promised fix, the scope and impact of the issue depend on details that have not been established in the announcement.
