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 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....
