5 year warranty with 70GB of data rated per day, incompressible and compressible performance is very strong, IOPS performance, Intel drives have proven to be very reliable since they launched, built in capacitors act as a data safety measure,
A little more expensive than some leading competitor drives at same capacity, 240GB drive takes a 200 MB/s write hit compared to the 480GB drive (400MB in Raid 0), Kitguru says: An excellent drive from Intel and one geared for long term reliability with b
We initially reviewed the Intel 730 ‘Jackson Ridge' Solid State Drive early in March and noted that it was a very capable drive when dealing with a variety of intensive tasks. Our views since then haven't changed at all and we find Raid 0 performance is v...

A large 50GB of writes per day warranted, High read Performance, Full metal shroud
Poor write speed
There are two sides to a coin as we all know and the same can be said of the Intel 730 SSD, at least the 240GB version. Read speeds were comparable to the leading SSDs currently available. Add to this the sleek metal design and the class leading 50GB ...
Enterprise SSDs typically have to sacrifice peak performance to achieve higher levels of endurance and sustained performance. Our tests show that burst performance, which is more important for the average SSD user, favours more mainstream drives like Sams...

The Intel 730 ‘Jackson Ridge' has been an interesting Solid State Drive to analyse, as it is using a controller lifted from Intel's enterprise market. To make the product more interesting for the enthusiast sector, Intel have overclocked both the controll...
The Intel SSD 730 is based on Intel's own controller which was previously used in their enterprise SSDs. Intel has managed to increase the performance of the new SSD thanks to the higher clock speeds of both the controller and the flash memory. Performa...

Word on the streets is that no self-respecting 11-year-old boy can resist computer hardware with a skull on it. It's probably a shame, then, that there aren't many 11-year-olds in the prosumer category, sporting wallets fat enough to drop twice as much mo...
