Our biggest pet peeve with computing nowadays – aside from the price of graphics cards being too damn high, thanks to bitcoin mining – is the lack of affordable and fast NVMe solid-state storage. Thankfully, that’s starting to change this year, and Intel’s new 760p Series SSD has us absolutely giddy.
Built upon Intel’s new 64-layer 3D NAND technology, the 760p Series not only doubles the speed of its previous consumer SSDs, it’s also nearly as affordable. Starting at $74 (about £50, AU$90) for an 128GB drive, $109 (about £80, AU$140) for 256GB and $199 (about £140, AU$250) for 512GB – which we tested – these are some of the cheapest NVMe drives you’re going to find this year.
Features
Again, Intel’s 760p Series SSDs use the company’s new 64-layer 3D NAND technology that’s twice as dense as the company’s 32-layer NAND used on the previous generation of Intel 600p Series SSDs. Thanks to this doubling of density, Intel promises its new drives are nearly twice as fast and more power efficient than before.
The 512GB capacity 760p Series is rated for 3,230 MB/s sequential read and 1,625 MB/s sequential write speeds. That’s a significant increase from the 512GB Intel SSD 600p’s 1,775 …read more
