AS-SSD Incompressible Sequential Performance
The AS-SSD sequential benchmark uses incompressible data for all of its transfers. The result is a pretty big reduction in sequential write speed on SandForce based controllers.
As a 3Gbps drive the 710 is pretty much limited by the SATA interface for the sequential read test. Sequential write speed is definitely improved over the X25-E, which may help narrow the performance gap in some enterprise workloads. Let's get to the real tests shall we?

If you're going to wear a t-shirt without a jacket, at least have something geeky/nerdy on it. ;)METALMORPHASIS - Friday, September 30, 2011 - link
After buying one of these drives all you can wear is just a plain t-shirt.EJ257 - Saturday, October 1, 2011 - link
Yeah like a t-shirt that say "I Void Warranties"http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/techies/8f52/

PM your addy, and I'll send you a tee shirt that has a new collar. yours is stretched out.ph0masta - Saturday, October 1, 2011 - link
I'm not in the IT biz, yet as a computer tech enthusiast I still find it interesting. I'd to learn more about the high performance warez that are required to run enterprise class computing.dananski - Monday, October 3, 2011 - link
Stop going off topic, this is clearly about T-Shirts. :PLinkpl4y - Saturday, October 15, 2011 - link
I wonder if you could fry an egg on an SSD.http://www.foodrepublic.com/2011/10/14/how-fry-egg...

This is a good review, but are SSD reviews going to be the only interesting thing for the PC builder/overclocking community to view? You know, the foundation of which AnandTech was build on. I remember all of the great reviews for 7+ years ago. If it weren't for the forums, I really wouldn't be here still. Where are the Sandybridge-E previews or the Bulldozer previews? How about some good old fashioned overclocking analysis? Throw in some good gaming benchmarks while you're at it. I couldn't care less about business IT hardware, efficient HTPC, or Apple related reviews. Is this where your analysis team has deemed the direction the site should go in?dac7nco - Friday, September 30, 2011 - link
In all fairness, IT hardware is interesting to quite a few people. There are a few places here and there that benchmark games. I agree about the Apple reviews; I couldn't care less, and neither would most sane people.B3an - Saturday, October 1, 2011 - link
I also couldn't care less for anything Apple related. But sadly Apple articles seem to get quite a lot of attention so i doubt they'll be going away. It's like everything that does well... after a while things start to get more mainstream and you cant get more mainstream than Apples useless toys. I have no problem with this review at all though, i just hope these kinda detailed reviews dont disappear.
