Intel 730 Series SSD - The New Flagship!

[LOST TALE]

This video is Linus's most fishy video.

Maybe to avoid its price revelancy. This video is not ment for me.

 

Details where compared with each other in a way advantaging Intel.

To an extent. I got confused and just got somehting like ''better durability and performance consistancy'' + ''Twice as expensive capacity'' (which was not mentioned)

This video lacks faithfulness towards average consumers.

 

Avoiding to take all details into consideration when conclusion comes.

 

 

only costs 2x more then samsung evo

Maybe should of said that in the video. I doubt a conflict of interest Linus involving sponsorship.

This is the first time.

I just want that skull, I got no "monies" or need for a SSD right now.

[aznboi128]

I've always used Intel SSD and I think its time for an upgrade 

[TheProfosist]

Sorry!

I only said that it costs 2x more then Evo and i dont think that this SSD would start up the Pc 10 seconds faster then a evo, maybe 2-3 sec faster is that worth the double price?

I am not against 730 series, if i would have money to it i would spend on it,

No it wouldnt start it 10sec faster especially when booting with a evo in a relatively new mb takes that. But quick booted is not all a ssd is for in the least. As linus saod in his review is focused on consistent speed, especially with writes.

I said outright that it's not a top performer and I said Intel SSDs have a history of being on the expensive side.

 

I don't typically mention pricing in videos PARTICULARLY for products like HDDs, flash memroy, or other commodity products because it changes so fast and I never know when someone is going to be watching my video.

 

The video is not really targeted towards average consumers because the product itself is not targeted towards average consumers (another thing I mention in the video). This is an enthusiast grade part. The TLC flash in an 840 Evo has an abysmal number of P/E cycles compared to the enterprise grade MLC-HET flash being used in this one.

 

For average consumers that will never matter and the 840 Evo is a great product. It's just not "enthusiast grade" and Samsung never marketed it as such. that's why the 840 Pro still exists with MLC flash instead of TLC.

please refer to the 750D, where it has sleds that are on display with it's HUGE window

 

Yeah I know, my housemate got one recently. I already bought my Enthoo Primo, and granted there's an area I could potentially mod to show them off, but I'd rather not have to actually cut anything

@LinusTech thanks ive been trying to say that for a while now

[Osmium]

Isn't that what PcIe SSd are for?  It be wonderful when those price comes down, which won't be anywhere near my lifetime. (I'm 31)..so in the next 20 years or so. I doubt i'll see it where it would prove use to my age in my 60s to 70s...

 

The hell? SSDs have only been commercially available since 2009. The have only been around for less than 5 years and PCIe SSDs have been around for less. Solid state drives are still in their infancy. They will be affordable in your lifetime.

I have almost 7TB writes on my 120gb Intel 520 so far not a single problem. Firmware update is really easy and quick. Still as fast as it new even with almost 70% full. I do trust Intel to give the best performance out of their premium SSD. And they usually bundle their premium ssd with 3.5" bracket,sata cable, and molex to sata power cable which you don't get to see other brands do that often.

Is there really that much difference between the EVO and the Pro? Because i have the EVO and my brother has the Pro, and his sequential reads and writes is only like 2 mbit above mine

SSDs are not just about reads and since this and other things have been mentioned multiple times I will just direct you to linus's post http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/121686-intel-730-series-ssd-the-new-flagship/?p=1686497

Generally speaking, the Pro is faster, but the EVO is directed more towards the average consumer/enthusiast.

thanks man.. my heart rate went insane when i saw my name..linus could have killed me with excitement

The 840 Pro is just hands down better than the 840 EVO. The evo is only special because of the tech it brings for being a budget drive and thus the performance. But remember it is still more money than its direct competiton even though it has worse flash. Due to this it is by no means a enthusiast oriented drive.

The Customization.

 

Nothing technical can fit you and your purposes right out of the box,

so being able to fiddle aroud to make it your own with a standard skin is really appreciated.

[herramestari]

Favourite part is the multi windows, no more slow switching between apps and youtube buffering.

[Shipoopi]

!

[bielo]

awesome

[joecastellon]

I can't even imagine what it must be like to run Windows on SSD. The closest I've ever tried is the Chromebook, but obviously it does not compare. Dat 11 second boot though...

[ms811]

Not used SSD till now, but I think this is what I might get started with. Thanks for the video.
