Performance vs. Transfer Size
ATTO is a useful tool for quickly benchmarking performance across various transfer sizes. You can get the complete data set in Bench. ATTO illustrates the poor-ish read performance of the SSD 730 quite well. The SSD 730 is the slowest drive in this comparison and doesn't match the other drives until an IO size of 1024KB. Write performance on the other hand is average, although it should be noted that at the smallest IO sizes the drive is very slow for some reason. I'm guessing this is just a matter of optimization as enterprise workloads don't usually go to IO sizes smaller than 4KB.

I find it endearing. I bought a 240GB version of the 730 precisely because of its boring, but very practical features relating to reliability and early warning if there are any problems, not because of its speed (because that version is actually pretty slow in some areas). It seems so out of place that it kind of makes for a good story.iLovefloss - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - link
Ever heard of their Extreme line of processors? Or Socket 2011 motherboards? Same deal. I think they also have the skull on their AIO liquid cooling kits (made for the Extreme processors). Just take it as a warning that nobody should buy it as it is overpriced compared to their normal goods.nathanddrews - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - link

Seriously. If I wanted a tasteless tattoo I'd go and spend the $10 on one.nathanddrews - Friday, February 28, 2014 - link
It was a joke for those that remember the D975XBX. I'm just mocking Intel's pathetic marketing attempts at being hard core.JlHADJOE - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - link
To make it fit with your Skulltrail system!ritabhatt - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - link

I think is bad ideal add on general customer product some religion symbol.. ok skull isnt religion symbol, but yes between us satanists are technology enthusiasts too :)zyxtomatic - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - link
I have to ask: What on Earth does a skull have to do with Satanism? It's just a skull with some stylized line art applied to it.zyxtomatic - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - link
