The editors didn't like
The new drive doesn't support encryption
And its performance isn't the best among similarly priced SSDs
Abstract: While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower pr...
This drive from Intel represents their efforts in giving something for enthusiasts to salivate over, and the performance of the drive is not bad at all. Compared to some other SSDs, the performance of the 240Gb Intel 730-series proved slightly disappointi...

Fiveyear warranty, 70GB write/day, fast enough, Intel reliability.
Too expensive, not the fastest, consumes a lot of power

Abstract: It has been a few years since Intel launched a new suite of solid-state drives (SSDs) in the enthusiast market, but the $449 480GB Intel 730 Series SSD (SSDSC2BP480G4R5) is designed to mark Intel's return with a vengeance. The new SSD leverages the same c...

As we saw when we took a peek inside the Intel 730 series 480GB drive, there was 528GB (1GB byte = 1,000,000,000 bytes) of raw NAND on board but when formatted in Windows we find ourselves with 446GiB (1GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes). The difference being the...
