PAX sale! (normally $229, while stocks last) The Intel Solid State Drive 730 Series combines enthusiast-grade performance with the endurance and dependability that has traditionally been reserved for data centre storage products.

Data Centre DNA. Gain extreme endurance - up to 50 GB of writes per day compared to the industry typical 20 GB per day—and enjoy peace-of-mind dependability throughout the life of the drive with advanced firmware algorithms, delivering performance consistency across all data types.

  I just bought a 1TB and 500GB paid of WD Blues.

  However, the Intel 730 Series 240GB would be a nice addition.

  Is this a good deal comparatively.

    What on earth do you need Blue's for? replacing stock HP parts? yuck.

    Anyway. Comparatively to what? their usual price? wholesale cost? other brands?
    Either way, in practically all of them they're pretty sweet at this price.

  730 better than 530?

  • 

    busterau on 31/10/2014 - 14:52

    Well the 30% off means the price is the same as the 530.

    Whilst they are both have 5 year warranty, I would go the 730 for maximum durability.

    I believe the write speeds maybe a little lower, but I would still go the 730.
