I think it's the 710 and 720 that you're referring to.
The 710 is MLC-HET

Over provisioning does not directly increase flash performance, but allows
for greater reliability as the drive ages by improving garbage collection
efforts and reducing write amplification. This article doesn't provide any
sources, but it explains the concept at a very basic level -

Have you already tested it? Anybody? Or is it still just theoretical
performance enhancement, compared to using a "normal" sized drive in a
normal mode?
How would you test it? I guess you would need

ESX NFS-attached datastore activity.
Which 320 series drive are you targeting, specifically? The ~$100 80GB variant
should perform as well as the more expensive versions if your workload is more
random from what I've seen/read.

Anyone have experience with this?
