Power Consumption
Although both idle and sequential IO power figures are up compared to the X25-E, random write power is down considerably. The 710 is able to pull less power under heavy random writes partially due to its lower performance, but it also looks like the drive as a whole simply draws less power. For a single drive that's not such a big deal but when you think about installing dozens if not hundreds of these in a server farm, the savings quickly add up. Lower power consumption in heavy random write workloads should deliver tangible savings given the target market of this drive.

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

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.
