The Intel Epic Unlocked Processor Challenge: Enter for a Chance to Win an Intel SSD

Newegg IDF Store

Newegg was the official retailer at IDF 2014.

Newegg was thrilled to be the exclusive retailer at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco two weeks ago. We not only met thousands of engineers that create the technologies we love, but we were also able to sell them the products they enjoy. It was a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Most attendees were familiar with Newegg because we always stock the best products from Intel and IDF was no exception. Whether they were looking for the latest generation in processors, razor-thin 2-in-1 computers, or a performance-packed motherboard for their next rig; Newegg was able to sell it all on-site.

But now we’re giving it away.

IDF was so successful we’ve decided to give away some great prizes from Intel to those of you who couldn’t make it to the Moscone Center. For the next four weeks we’ll be giving you challenges through Newegg’s Facebook page for your chance to win. We already gave away one prize, but there are still plenty more to win.

The next prize we’re giving away is an Intel 730 Series Solid-State Drive. One lucky contestant will win one of these great SSDs and enjoy a no-compromise storage solution that is dependable and knows how to perform.

Intel Solid State Drive 730 Series

The Intel Solid State Drive 730 Series combines enthusiast-grade performance with the endurance and dependability that has traditionally been reserved for data center storage products. In other words, it’s the best of both worlds, and what that means to you is freedom from compromise.

Equip your next build with an Intel® Solid State Drive 730 Series and get:

  • Optimized Performance. We specially qualified components and pushed factory performance tuning limits by boosting the controller speed by 50 percent and NAND bus speed 20 percent. The result, 50µs read latencies, consistently high transfer rates of up to 550 MB/s sequential reads, and up to 89,000 IOPS random reads.
  • Data Center DNA. Gain extreme endurance — up to 70 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.
  • RAID Performance Scaling. Achieve extreme storage performance for the most demanding usage models with RAID 0 configurations combining two or more Intel SSD 730 Series drives with an Intel platform supporting Intel Rapid Storage Technology for throughput exceeding 1,000 MB/s.
  • Quality and Reliability. 3rd generation Intel controller, optimized Intel firmware, and 20nm NAND technology provide dependable up-time for intensive storage workloads — backed by a limited five-year warranty.
