The Intel series 730 SSD positions itself in a massively saturated market. Now, all SSDs in this class win and lose a little from each other in respective benchmarks, overall it remains to be a lot of the same. Especially once you house that SSD into you...
When we first heard about Intel combining their Enterprise arm with the desktop brigade we were intrigued, albeit slightly cautious. After all, it's not as if most SSDs are particularly slow or prone to breaking. Then news broke that the controller was a...

It's great to see that Intel has not forgotten the enthusiast market. While the SSD 520 and SSD 530 weren't bad SSDs, they didn't exactly fill the shoes of X-25M—they were just another batch of SandForce drives, with more generally better validation. With...
Excellent performance, especially IOPS at low QD, Data Center pedigree and reliability, Data Center grade power loss protection, Good cost/GB (se below),
High power draw and corresponding high temps may be an issue for some
Intel has a track record of overlapping parts among their consumer and enterprise lines. They did it with the X25-E / X25-M, with the SSD 710 / SSD 320, and now they've repeated that trend with the DC S3500 and SSD 730. The big difference this time ar...

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...
Does well in gaming workloads, Excellent engineering of the drive, Five-year warranty, 2 million hour MTBF
Performance doesn't live up to price premium, Only offered in two capacities, Heavy power consumption
The Intel SSD 730 line is designed as an enthusiast-class SSD to take on intensive workloads and applications. The drive interfaces over SATA 6Gb/s, utilizes 20nm NAND, duty-optimized firmware and ships both 2.5" slim form factors at a 7mm height. Add...
The Intel SSD 730 Series has a high endurance rating and comes with a five-year warranty. The drive offers a huge boost in performance compared with regular hard drives and can handle RAID configurations
The new drive doesn't support encryption, and its performance isn't the best among similarly priced SSDs
At launch, the new Intel SSD 730 Series makes a very good internal drive choice for your computer, but it'll become a better value when its street price drops below the current suggested retail price....
Strong Performer, Proven Technology, 5 Year Warranty
Not Available Yet, Enthusiast Class Pricing
The Intel SSD 730 Series Solid State DriveWe don't have final street pricing for the Intel SSD 730 series just yet, but we expect it to be priced along with the upper echelon of consumer-targeted, enthusiast-class solid state drives when it hits store she...
