Anandtech.com has a thorough review of it. Performance is consistent (within 10-15% IOPS) across the lifetime of the drive, has capacitors to flush RAM cache to disk, and doesn't store user data in the cache. It's also cheaper per GB than the 710 it replaces. On 2012-11-13 3:32 PM, "Jim Klimov" <jimkli...@cos.ru> wrote:
