Poor write speed
The new drive doesn't support encryption

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
Kitguru says
An excellent drive from Intel and one geared for long term reliability with balanced all round
240GB drive takes a 200 MB/s write hit compared to the 480GB drive (400MB in Raid 0)

Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...

Good warranty, datacentreclass integrity, toptier performance
Expensive
The technical backstory of server-class turned enthusiast drive, coupled with a decent warranty and enormous data-write ceiling, are as impressive as the palpably good lab-test results. The 730 Series is the most expensive drive, per gigabyte, but if you ...
Abstract: Last month we published a review on Intels new 730 series SSD , based on the same controller that you can find in Intel enterprise SSDs. As the controller is developed in house by Intel they claim that the consistency in the performance of these drives ...

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...
