Intel 730 Series SSD (480GB) review: Good performance and a strong warranty |
March 03, 2014
Intel’s performance guys have a thing for skulls. They delivered a high-performance, dual-CPU motherboard setup named Skulltrail a few years back. Now they’ve announced the new 730 Series of enthusiast-class SSDs emblazoned with fleshless noggins. Do these drives live up to their “killer” image? The company shipped us a pair of 480GB drives so that we could benchmark them striped as a single volume in RAID 0, which is how a PC enthusiast might deploy them. Theoretically, you should get near twice the performance this way; but since we haven’t tested any other SSDs in tandem, we stuck with one drive for our full benchmarking regimen, ran CrystalDiskMark for the RAID 0 setup, and I got to kick them about at home. Sweet. This job does have its perqs.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
