This review is from: Intel 730 Series 2.5" 480GB SATA 6Gb/s MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2BP480G4R5
Pros:
I bought this in November 2014.
This Drive is noticably faster than the Intel 330 240GB drive it replaced.
Generally speaking, consumer SSDs have gotten very reliable over the last 6 years. Still, if one is hedging their bets, you cannot go wrong with Intel.
Cons:
No cons for the drive its self.
I would not recommend this drive to put in an older notebook. The power consumption is higher than cheaper drives such as the Crucial BX100 and the Samsung 850 EVO.
That's not really a problem with the drive, but people should buy this for performance desktops or server type applications where the difference of 1 or 2 watts is not important.
Overall Review:
I bought this drive for $185 - it was 199 and Google Wallet had a promo where they paid 15 dollars of your purchase. I would buy this drive again for a similar price or lower.
