Intel Solid State Drive 730 Series PERFORMANCE UNLEASHED. Look Inside. ----------------------------------- Born from the data center, the Intel Solid-State Drive 730 Series delivers uncompromised performance for PC enthusiasts by combining factory tuned components and data center . Optimized for Performance ------------------------- Maximize your computing experience with the fastest consumer Intel Solid-State Drive delivered to date. The Intel Solid-State Drive 730 Series is built with a specially qualified 3rd generation Intel controller. Performance optimized firmware and 20nm Intel NAND Flash Memory take it a step further by factory overclocking these components for a 50% increase in controller speed and 20% increase in NAND bus speed. Optimized for the most demanding tasks, including digital content creation and extreme gaming, the Intel Solid-State Drive 730 Series delivers low 50µs read latency, up to 550 MB/s sequential reads and random reads up to 86,000 IOPS. Intel Data Center --------------------- The Intel Solid-State Drive 730 Series also delivers extreme endurance of up to 70GB writes per day for five years (compared to the industry typical 20GB), providing peace of mind for anyone requiring dependable up-time from their workstation or gaming rig. Intel’s advanced firmware algorithms provide consistent performance that you can rely on for both compressible and incompressible data types, plus data center efficiency and dependability. Intel SSD 730 Series + Intel Rapid Storage Technology ----------------------------------------------------- Digital content creation experts and PC enthusiasts know the highest storage performance is achieved with RAID configurations, especially as Solid-State Drives start to saturate the SATA bus. Two 240GB Intel Solid-State Drive 730 Series in a RAID-0 configuration provide the same storage capacity as a single 480GB drive— but the throughput nearly doubles to an amazing 1000 MB/s when coupled with Intel platforms supporting Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Q87, H87, Z87 & X79). With the Intel Solid-State Drive 730 Series inside your build, you get: ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Performance in a Flash: Less lag with 50µs read latencies and consistently high transfer rates and application loads with up to 550 MB/s sequential reads1,2 and 86,000 IOPS random reads1,2 * Data Center : Extreme endurance of up to 70GB of writes per day,1,3 consistent performance across all data types, and RAID performance scaling beyond 1GB/s * Quality and Reliability: 3rd generation Intel controller and 5-year warranty Compare Products Intel 730 Series 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive - 240GB Intel 730 Series 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive - 480GB Sequential 4KB Read/Write up to 550 / 270 MB/s ✓ Sequential 4KB Read/Write up to 550 / 470 MB/s ✓ 2-Drive RAID 0 Sequential Read/Write up to 1020 / 530 MB/s ✓ 2-Drive RAID 0 Sequential Read/Write up to 1073 / 960 MB/s ✓ Random 4KB Read/Write up to 86,000 / 56,000 IOPS ✓ Random 4KB Read/Write up to 89,000 / 74,000 IOPS ✓ 2-Drive RAID 0 Random 4KB Read/Write up to 136,000 / 136,000 IOPS ✓ 2-Drive RAID 0 Random 4KB Read/Write up to 168,000 / 145,000 IOPS ✓
