Intel 730 'Jackson Ridge' Raid 0 Review
Over a month ago we got to sample Intel's latest SSD. Now we see how it performs when a second identical drive is added to make a Raid 0 volume.
Blistering read speed ; Highly durable and sustained write speed ; Metal casing
Mediocre burst Write speed
Matching up a pair of already quick SSD's was always going to show massive leaps in performance. Read speeds almost topped 1000 MB/s while write speeds also showed a fair increase in speed. The blistering pace of the read speed was however surpassed by...

Intel 730 240GB SSD Review
After last year's release of the DC S3700 series SSD's, it was only a matter of time before Intel allowed their LSI built, in house designed X25
It goes without saying that going into this review, we had some awesomely high expectations for Intel’s 730 series. After reading numerous

Intel 730 240GB Review
Optimised and overclocked, the Intel 730 Series SSD is about to be unleashed. Can it compete with the current high performance SSDs?
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...

Intel SSD 730 Series review
Intel's latest 730 Series solid-state drive (SSD) is the first from the company that comes with a factory-overclocked SSD controller and NAND bus speeds. However, performance is not its strongest suit, but rather, its endurance.
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.

Intel SSD 730 Series 240GB
In my testing, the new SSD was fast, though far from the fastest I've seen. It supports RAID configurations, and when used in RAID 0 its performance was basically doubled. But that's true for most, if not all, RAID-enabled SSDs. The drive has about the...

Intel 730 Series SSD 480GB Review
Intel has largely been absent from the high-end SSD market for many years, which has been a real head-scratcher, considering the original X-25M's dominance back in 2009. That all changes this month with the release of its all-new 730 series SSD. It...
