Intel 730 Jackson Ridge 240GB SSD Review

IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.
4k read setts
We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a Solid State Drive, so our results will often vary between the manufacturer’s quoted ratings.

4k read results4k write results
IOPS performance is strong, specifically in the 4k random read test, scoring over 90,000. As we expected, the write IOPS performance isn't at the same level, scoring 66,414.

Intel's official IOPS performance is rated at 86,000 read and 56,000 write, so our results are actually higher than Intel's official claims.

  1. I love Intel drives, the performance figures are only part of the story – most reliable drives by far. I still have an original Intel SSD from the 1st generation and its working fine.

    I have had 3 OCZ and Corsair sandforce drives fails over a couple of a months, I will always be going back to Intel. ordering a 240GB or maybe a 480GB jackson ridge SSD in the coming months, depending if I can stretch to it.

    I dont think in real world terms the write speed of 270Mb/s would be a huge issue, but for some future proofing and a boot drive, the 480GB seems a better bet. The slight price overhead due to the reliability enhancements is worth it.

  2. Intel lover here too, reliability is very important for me, I wouldn’t risk the chance of losing data over £20 more than an OCZ or something else.

  3. Any ideas when OCUK will have these in stock? just a preorder page atm
